Falklands Government reminds 2026 Census latecomers to submit returns
The Falkland Islands Government (FIG) has reminded residents who have not yet completed their 2026 Census to do so as soon as possible.
The Falkland Islands Government has urged residents who haven't yet completed their 2026 Census to submit their returns as soon as possible. Every household is legally obligated to participate in the census unless they meet specific exemptions. Assistance is available for those needing help, and forms in Spanish and Tagalog can be requested.
The survey is divided into three sections. The first gathers information about the household, which every household must complete. Those who have registered other properties to be vacant on census night must also fill out Part 1 for each of those properties. The second section compiles data about individuals, including residents who are currently abroad, on holiday, on work trips, or receiving treatment overseas.
The final section covers temporary visitors staying in the Falklands for three months or less. The Census Team can be contacted via phone (28422 or 28437), email (census2026@sec.gov.fk), or in person at the Policy Office in Stanley. For further assistance, residents can log in or register on the official website.
