Registering with the police
If you are a Relevant Foreign National and you have been admitted to the UK with leave to remain for more than six months, you may need to register with the police within seven days of having this condition stamped in your passport.
This costs about £34.
If you don't register, it's a criminal offence and you may be prosecuted.
