    Can UCAS send me a copy of my data?

    What's on this page?

    Can I have a copy of my application, references and/or personal statement?

    This is called a ‘copy form’ request, and you can request this by calling our Customer Experience Centre. You can also request your personal statement or your reference just by itself if you don’t need a copy of your whole application. 

    When you call you will have to verify your identity, so please have your Personal ID (PID) number and be prepared to answer relevant questions about your profile or applications. 

    Once you have verified your identity, the documents will be sent to you via email. 

    Can I have a copy of all information the information UCAS holds about me?

    This is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). To submit a SAR, please email your request to datagovernance@ucas.ac.uk and include your full name, date of birth, personal ID number/PID (only if you have submitted an application), your email address, and the home address on your application. 

    Please also include whether you have:

    • applied through one of our admissions schemes (UCAS Undergraduate, UCAS Conservatoires, UCAS Teacher Training, or UCAS Postgraduate)
    • registered for a UCAS Hub account
    • attended a UCAS event
    • provided support for a UCAS applicant
    • contacted us with a query or request
    • requested a newsletter
    • entered a competition or survey
    • or were an employee of UCAS 

    This will enable us to ensure the relevant systems are searched and we will send a response to you within one month. 

    Can I have a receipt for my application submission payment?

    You can request a copy of your receipt for the payment to apply by calling our Customer Experience Centre.

    When you call you will have to verify your identity, so please have your Personal ID (PID) number and be prepared to answer relevant questions about your profile or applications.
