i'd be inclined to try one, and if that doesn't work, try the other ;-)

Ditto Maddy.  I assume that the code I was sent has overridden the one I received by post only yesterday so I’ll start with the one I requested first - but definitely not throwing away the letter just in case.

Hi Maddy, I did the same. I've filled it out already using the phone code and then received the letter today. Will hold on to it just in case as Michael says, but I have a confirmation email saying I've completed the census for this household...

We still haven’t received anything. I thought the census had to be filled out on ome specific date to avoid double counting I guess.

I just noticed that the letter says to fill it out on 21 March, or as soon as possible thereafter. In current lockdown, I think most people could safely assume they won’t have any unexpected overnight guests. Hopefully I don’t get fined for filling it out in advance!

After spending 10mins filling all their very nosy questions in on line, it didn’t accept my work address and wanted me to start all over again. Well blow that for a bunch of marbles. Even with lockdown, I have a better use for my time. So inefficient

In the guidance, it says that you’re allowed to fill it out in advance of 21 March if you know who will be in the household on 21 March. There is then an obligation to update your submission if the facts change.
