Why Updating Your Address Matters
When you move, keeping your Aviva life insurance address current ensures accurate communication, correct premium calculation, and uninterrupted coverage. An outdated address can delay renewal notices or cause a lapse in policy if payments are sent to the wrong location.

Step‑by‑Step Process
1. Gather Required Information
Before contacting Aviva, have your policy number, new address details, and a valid ID handy. Some insurers also request a copy of a utility bill or lease agreement as proof of residence.
2. Contact Aviva Directly
- Call the dedicated policy support line: 0800 111 111 (within the UK).
- Use the online chat on the Aviva website, selecting "Change of Address" from the options.
- Alternatively, send a written request via the secure portal or by email to policychange@aviva.co.uk.
3. Submit Proof of Address
Aviva may require a recent utility bill, council tax statement, or rental agreement. Ensure the document shows your name and the new address and is dated within the last three months.
4. Confirmation and Documentation
After processing, Aviva will email or mail a confirmation letter. Keep this for your records. The new address will be reflected in future correspondence and your online account.
Impact on Premiums and Coverage
For most life insurance policies, a change of address does not affect the premium unless the new location has different risk factors (e.g., flood zones). Aviva reviews such factors but typically retains the existing rate unless a reassessment is triggered.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Assuming the change is automatic – you must submit a formal request.
- Neglecting to update your address on the online portal – the paper letter alone is insufficient for online notifications.
- Failing to confirm the change – always request a written confirmation to prevent future disputes.
When to Update Immediately
If you have moved within the last 30 days, contact Aviva at once. Delays can lead to missed premium reminders, potentially causing a policy lapse.
