I am an employer of newly arrived displaced Ukrainian nationals/refugees. Can I support them in hotel accommodation myself or do they need to use IPAS accommodation?

Any employer is free to accommodate their employees privately once the accommodation is of an approved standard. The employee will, however need to obtain a PPS number. For more information, please see answer to question below regarding PPS numbers.

I am concerned that my details will be available to others and I will receive junk-mail?

Since 2004, registration authorities are required to publish two versions of the Register - the Full Register and the Edited Register.  The full register lists everyone who is entitled to vote and can only be used for an electoral or other statutory purpose.  The edited Register contains the names and addresses of persons whose details can be used for a purpose other than an electoral or other statutory purpose e.g. direct marketing use by a commercial or other organisation.  To ensure your details are not included on the Edited Register, choose the 'opt-out box' on the registration form.
