A GOV.UK form published on 11 May 2026 lets people appealing certain Home Office decisions get the information they need to create a My HMCTS account and submit their appeal.

Key facts

GOV.UK has published a form for people who are appealing a Home Office decision and need information from the Home Office to access justice through HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS).

The form will enable the person appealing to create an account on My HMCTS, which is used to submit the appeal.

Which decisions it covers

The form can be used if the appeal concerns a decision relating to:

  • human rights
  • asylum
  • the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)
  • immigration enforcement
  • Border Force

What it is not for

The form can only be used to help get the information needed for an appeal. It does not cover other queries.

For other asylum queries, such as letters of authority or the submission of asylum documents, the contact point is the AHRO Central Communications Hub at ahrocentralcommunicationshub@contactus.homeoffice.gov.uk.

For other visa or immigration queries, people are directed to UK Visas and Immigration, or to phone 0300 790 6268 (Option 2).

What this means for people appealing a Home Office decision

If you are appealing a decision in one of the listed areas, the form is available to help you get the information you need to create a My HMCTS account and submit your appeal.

If your query is about something else, such as letters of authority or sending asylum documents, use the contact routes above rather than this form.
