How SlothMove Works

SlothMove helps you notify selected organisations of your address change via an online form. You must create an account using a unique email address, verify your identity via email, digitally sign a Letter of Authority (LoA), and have your IP address logged to ensure secure processing.

By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate and complete registration details and maintain the confidentiality of your account details.

By using SlothMove, you authorise us to act on your behalf to notify companies of your address change, close or set up accounts, and share your personal data with the selected organisations.

You confirm you are the individual listed in the submission and will use the Service only in relation to yourself.

Services Provided

We currently provide address updates for the following UK services:

  • Council Tax

  • DVLA (Driving Licence and V5C)

  • Energy providers (account closures only)

  • Water companies

  • TV Licence (update, setup, or cancellation)

  • Electoral Roll registration

  • HMRC

  • NHS (GP registration)

These services are available exclusively for addresses within the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland).

SlothMove reserves the right to add or remove services at any time without prior notice.

Prices, Payments & Refunds

A one-off fee of £35 is charged per address update per customer. Each individual requires their own submission and payment. Promotional codes may occasionally be provided.

Refunds can only be requested before your updates have been processed. Once dispatched, refunds are available only if SlothMove has made a specific error. We rely entirely on the accuracy of information provided by you.

User Obligations & Information Accuracy

You must ensure all information provided is accurate and complete. SlothMove provides multiple opportunities to verify your details before submission. Once updates are sent, they cannot be recalled or amended. If you provide incorrect or incomplete information resulting in update failure or errors, it will be your responsibility to directly contact and resolve the issue with the relevant third-party organisation. SlothMove is not responsible for additional actions required by third parties resulting from incorrect information.

Relying on information from SlothMove

The information and material contained on SlothMove is based on information that we believe is reliable, and we use reasonable care and attention to ensure that it’s up-to-date and accurate. That said, there may be occasions when the information or material on SlothMove is not accurate, up-to-date or complete. On these occasions, we’ll take reasonable steps to correct the information or material as soon as possible once we become aware.

Liability & Indemnity

SlothMove accepts no liability for:

  • Losses from incorrect information provided by you.

  • Delays or failures by third-party organisations.

  • Missed benefit payments (DWP/HMRC) or related financial losses.

  • Issues arising from cancelled direct debits or unpaid bills before receipt of confirmed final bills from providers.

SlothMove accepts no liability for County Court Judgments (CCJs) or other penalties relating to your accounts with third-party organisations. We issue notifications on your behalf based solely on the information you provide. Please note that SlothMove retains records of dispatched notifications for a period of 30 days only, after which we are unable to provide evidence of notifications being sent. It remains your responsibility to ensure that all organisations have correctly processed your address updates.

Our maximum liability is limited to the amount paid by you for our service.

You acknowledge your contractual relationships with third-party organisations are separate from SlothMove. SlothMove is not responsible for their products, services, customer support, or actions.
