The Django request object isn’t available by default in the Form class so you have to pass it by yourself:

class UserChangeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.request = kwargs.pop('request', None)
        # Call super() after deleting the extra kwargs.
        super(UserChangeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # Other code

And pass it when you create the form in your view:

def update(request):
    form = UserChangeForm(request=request)
