Report immigration crime or smuggling


This page explains how you can report suspected immigration crime (such as illegal immigration or illegally employing foreign workers), smuggling or terrorism.

We take public reports of crime seriously. If you suspect that someone is working illegally, has no right to be in the UK or is involved in smuggling, we want to hear from you.

Reporting crime online

You can report your suspicions in confidence using our reporting form.

Please complete as much of the form as you can. But do not worry if you cannot answer all of the questions - and do not put yourself in danger by trying to discover more information.

Any information that you provide will be handled in confidence. You can give us your name and address if you wish, but you do not need to do so.

  • contact Crimestoppers (online or by phone) anonymously
  • call the Customs Hotline about smuggling on 0800 595 000
  • contact the confidential anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 or online
