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.
