Check which UK nation’s rules apply

1. Lili tip: identify which UK nation’s rules apply before using a nation-specific service
Many public services use different authorities or rules in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Use the address/postcode and the official page’s territorial scope before following a checklist step.
When?
Whenever a service or rule may differ by UK nation, especially local government, health, education, driving, probate and employment-law routes.
Where / who?
Use the official UK/nation service linked by the relevant checklist step; local-authority finders can confirm the area where needed.
What to prepare?
Your actual postcode/address and the service/topic you need.
What to check?
Lili tip — this is an orientation check, not a legal duty. “UK”, “Great Britain” and individual-nation rules are not interchangeable.
