Register for the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS)

You may be able to apply for financial redress if you were wrongly convicted of a crime because of the Horizon IT system used by the Post Office. This means we will pay you for your losses.

You’ll be able to apply through the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS).

The HCRS is not open yet. You’ll be able to register on this page when the opening date is confirmed.

Get updates by selecting the ‘Get emails about this page’ button on this page.

Who can register

You’re eligible for the HCRS if you’ve had a conviction quashed (which means it has been overturned) by either the:

• the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act 2024
• the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences (Scotland) Act 2024

You may get a letter telling you if you’re eligible from:

• the Ministry of Justice if you’re in England or Wales
• the Justice Directorate in Scotland if you’re in Scotland
• the Department for Justice if you’re in Northern Ireland

You may get this letter before the scheme is open.

You can still register if you think you’re eligible for the scheme but you’ve not got a letter.
