If you are registering the residential address of any of your family members/relatives listed above as your LCA, please inform the family member/relative that he/she will receive a letter from ICA seeking the confirmation of the relationship and the consent for the use of their address. He/She is advised to reply to ICA in writing within seven days of receipt of the letter. The registration of your LCA will only be accepted when your family member's/relative's confirmation has been received by ICA.
