(1)Subsections (2) to (6) apply where a person is subject to a domestic abuse protection order.

(2)The person must, within the period of three days beginning with the day on which the order is made, notify the police of the information in subsection (3).

(3)The information referred to in subsection (2) is—

(a)the person's name and, if the person uses one or more other names, each of those names;

(b)the person's home address.

(4)If the person uses a name which has not been notified under this section, the person must, within the period of three days beginning with the day on which the person first uses that name, notify the police of that name.

(5)If the person changes home address, the person must, before the end of the period of three days beginning with the day on which that happens, notify the police of the new home address.

(6)If the person ceases to have any home address, the person must, before the end of the period of three days beginning with the day on which that happens, notify the police of that fact.

(7)The Secretary of State may by regulations specify further notification requirements which a court may impose when making or varying a domestic abuse protection order.

In this subsection a “notification requirement” is a requirement for the person against whom the order is made to provide specified information to the police.

(8)The requirements imposed by subsections (2) to (6) do not apply where—

(a)the person is subject to another domestic abuse protection order (and accordingly those requirements already apply), or

(b)the person is subject to notification requirements under Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 or section 9 of the Stalking Protection Act 2019.

(9)If on any day the person ceases to be subject to any notification requirements as mentioned in subsection (8)(a) or (b), the requirements imposed by subsections (2) to (6) apply to the person on and after that day, but as if the reference in subsection (2) to the day on which the order was made were a reference to that day.

(10)For provision about how to give a notification under subsection (2), (4), (5) or (6), see section 42.
