From 5 August you no longer need to notify our service centre of a change in representation for applications under the new divorce law. You’ll be able to update representatives on MyHMCTS and changes will be instant. You’ll also receive an email confirmation.
There are some exceptions to this:
- This update only applies to new law cases and not old law digital cases
- You cannot request a notice of change on a case that’s judicial separation, this remains a paper case and requests should continue to be sent to our Service Centre
- You cannot request a notice of change on a joint application made using a paper form. These applications must be either fully paper or fully digital throughout the process
Guidance on applying for a divorce on MyHMCTS is available on GOV.UK.
