• A copy of the property's title deeds or a property certificate.
• A copy of the property's planning permission or building regulations approval.
• A copy of the property's EPC (Energy Performance Certificate).
• A copy of the property's gas safety certificate (if applicable).

Step 3: Fill out the registration form

You can download the Royal Mail Property Registration Form (PRF) from the Royal Mail website or request one by calling their customer service team. Fill out the form accurately and completely, providing all the required information.

Step 4: Submit the registration form

You can submit the completed registration form in one of the following ways:

• Online: Upload the form to the Royal Mail website.
