The form is 32 pages long! There is a section of 5 pages for each member of the household - in our case that's 15 pages, I'm going to let my adult sons fill in their sections!

At the front there is a four page section to fill in which asks about the type of property etc.

The last page is if there is a visitor on 21 March 2021.

Not heard anything here - North East and nearer the end of the alphabet ....
For those who have had it, do you get a card or a letter as both are mentioned on this thread?
Thanks.

The card comes first, in our case about 10 days before the letter.  The letter contains a leaflet and a single sheet with your household access code on it, which you will need to get your form.

I wonder how many people will think, "Not another leaflet from the government!" and throw it in the bin without looking carefully at it, thus losing their code.  The envelope does say "census 2021" and "Your response is required by law"  on the front, though.

Thanks gillg

Not yet got mine, so not had chance to put my middle name as first name, and wrong birthplace.  ;D

Nudge to those long dead ancestors of mine.

And the wrong age by around a decade.
Is there a question about ethnicity? That one put me in a quandary in 2001. There were 2 questions about it in 2011. I felt like writing that I don't fit into any of your little boxes. I had the same problem with something I completed online a few weeks ago.

 If you don't fit any of the ethnicity boxes, I think you put "Klingon". ;D

Well as we expect a moving date about the last week of March and the deadline for returning the completed form is March 21st, some of the details we give will be out of date within a week or two  ;D

I am getting house rennovations done and it's currently a one bedroom house but will potentially be three bedrooms by 21st March, depending how fast the builder manages to work.

Already completed my census but might have to log back on and amend depending on builders progress!
