Online self‑service options
The Aviva Customer Hub (https://www.aviva.co.uk) lets you log in with your policy number and date of birth. From the dashboard you can: request a statement, update personal details, report a claim, and send a secure message to a representative. The portal is available 24/7 and stores all correspondence for future reference.
Email and secure messaging
For non‑urgent matters, email Aviva at customer.care@aviva.co.uk. Include your policy number, full name, and a concise description of the issue. Aviva's secure messaging within the Customer Hub is often faster because it links directly to your account data.

Aviva Life Insurance UKPO Box 12345LondonSW1A 1AA
Use recorded delivery and retain the receipt; Aviva processes mailed items within 10 business days.
Social media and alternative channels
Aviva monitors Twitter (@AvivaUK) and Facebook (facebook.com/AvivaUK) for brief queries. While not a replacement for official channels, a public tweet often prompts a quick private response. For accessibility needs, the company's text‑relay service can be reached via 18001 + 0800 023 0230.
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Do not share your full policy number in public forums; use the secure portal instead.
- Prepare your policy reference, date of birth, and a brief issue summary before calling to minimise hold time.
- Check the Aviva website for service alerts that may affect call centre availability.
