I was homeless in the past 5 years, how do I enter this on the application form?

If you had a period of no fixed abode in the last 5 years, you must provide details about this in section C of the application.

Write 'NO FIXED ABODE' in the address field and provide the town or city, the county, and the country where you were during this period, along with the dates when you had no fixed abode.

If you had no fixed abode in more than one county, you must supply each one as a separate address using this same format.

You can find more information about this the DBS unusual addresses guide.
