This depends on which of your personal details have changed.
If your personal details on your HC2 or HC3 certificate do not match the details held by your dental practice or pharmacy, you may receive an enquiry letter or Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) in error.
You must make sure the details held by your practice or pharmacy match your certificate.
Name
If you've changed your name, you need a new certificate to show this.
Send a covering letter and a photocopy of either your:
- marriage certificate
- civil partnership certificate

You can send this by email or post.

Address
If you've moved address, you do not need a new certificate. You can continue using your existing certificate.
You must update your address with your dentist & GP practice so it matches your certificate.
Email us your new address at lowincomescheme@nhsbsa.nhs.uk so we can update our records.
If you have an HC3 certificate and your financial circumstances have changed, you may want to reapply.
