Police registration and FLR(M)

[Tra8erse]

Hi, I have another query regarding my application for further stay as an unmarried partner.

My partner and I have been renting a flat where we currently live, since 22 September 2008 - I have a tenancy agreement to prove this and one other item of correspondence

However, I also have to register any changes of visa type, residence, etc. with the police. The stamp on my police registration certificate is dated 22 October 2008. I am required to report any changes within 7 days, but this time I was late - it was a combination of settling in (we did not have Internet or phone line for a month) and working to a deadline to finish my dissertation at uni.

Now I am wondering if this matters if I state on the application that we cohabited since September and the stamp has a different date? I would think that this does not matter too much - I had been late in registering before (just not by that much) and never had trouble extending my stay. But I really don't want to take any chances.

Thanks for your thoughts.
