How long does it take for the electoral roll to appear on a credit report?

• The three credit reference agencies get copies of the published electoral register from each local authority.

  Local Authorities publish a new register on the 1st of every month between January and September.

  This means that if you register to vote in May, you will be added to the June 1st register. The credit reference agencies will usually have this loaded to their databases within 2 or 3 weeks.

  Local authorities do not publish a new register in October or November as this is when they start preparing for the annual canvass. Which is when they send forms to every household.

  The annual canvass is published on December 1st, and will usually be fully loaded by the credit reference agencies by the end of the month.
