The Gazette · by Department

Four departments. Eight Notices. One signed envelope.

Each Department of State that touches the British consumer — the Treasury through the PSR and HMRC, the Department of Health through the NHS, the Department for Transport through TfL and DVLA, the Department for Education through UCAS — runs its own dispatch cadence. 4notify is the single Crown Stationer that prints all eight standing orders to one signed envelope.

Banking & Payments

From Confirmation of Payee on Faster Payments to PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication on the four clearing banks plus Monzo, Starling, Revolut UK and Nationwide — out-of-band dispatch within the 30-second SCA window, with HSM-signed envelopes accepted by the PSR APP-fraud reimbursement defence pack.

Health & Education

The NHS App, the Electronic Prescription Service, the e-Referral Service and the NHS Login second-factor estate run alongside UCAS Clearing, Russell Group accommodation allocations and Student Loans Company instalments — with patient-identifier blinding required by the Data Security and Protection Toolkit and Caldicott Guardian sign-off across the four home nations.

Mobility & Retail

Royal Mail, Parcelforce, Evri, DPD UK, Yodel, Amazon Logistics and InPost UK normalised to a single canonical dispatch envelope, with SMS reply-keyword parsing routed back to each carrier's reschedule API; Transport for London Open Data, National Rail Darwin, ULEZ and the Dart Charge feed the same touchpoint.

Order of the Day · 27 May 2026

Eight Notices for the United Kingdom Edition

Confirmation of Payee, Ofcom Sender ID, HMRC Making Tax Digital, the NHS App, ICO consent management, Royal Mail and Evri dispatch, Transport for London disruption, UCAS Clearing — eight Gazette Notices, eight standing dispatch specifications, signed at the Cabinet Office and delivered through 4notify Operations.
