Individual Party personal details such as gender, date of birth, country of birth, country of citizenship, country of residence, resident type, marital status and method of correspondence can all be changed with this variation.

The Date of Birth field is required for an individual, so if adding other details, you will need it in order to save your change.

Organisation Party details can have principal country of business, country of residence for tax purposes and method of correspondence changed via this variation.
