How to change the details on your UK Global Health Insurance Card (UK GHIC) or UK European Health Insurance Card (UK EHIC) depends on when you applied.
You'll need to apply for a new card using our online service if you have:
- applied for a UK GHIC before 29 June 2021

You'll need to contact our helpdesk if you:
- applied for a UK GHIC after 29 June 2021 and you've moved address

As your address is not printed on the card, we’ll not send you a new one.
