Booking
You can book:
- not less than 2 hours before the time you want to attend the HRC
- no more than 3 days before your visit
- 2 visits at the same time - these could be on the same day or in the same week
Your confirmation should be emailed to you within an hour. This email will tell you the 15-minute slot that you have been allocated. If you cannot see this email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder.
When you have 2 visits booked, you can book further visits from the day after you have attended the first visit. For example, if you book for Monday and Thursday then you can book your next visit from Tuesday.
From Monday 12 May, the booking system will be temporarily removed from the Castle Bromwich HRC, and a pre-booked slot won't be required to visit the site. This is subject to change. You still need to bring proof of address to show you live in Birmingham. The booking system remains in place for the other 4 HRCs.
You need to bring proof of address to show you live in Birmingham. This evidence could be:
- driving licence
- utility bill
- Council tax bill - paper or digital
Read the instructions on the booking website carefully. For example, there are height restrictions at some sites.
