The eVisa Check via UK Home Office online records

Using UK Home Office online immigration records, the eVisa Check provides a quick and secure way to verify an applicant's identity.

An eVisa is issued by the UK Home Office to immigrants legally residing in the UK, providing a digital record of immigration status that is accessible online. With the eVisa Check, we verify applicants' identities by accessing their UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) records. Applicants simply sign in to their UKVI account and generate a unique share code, allowing us to confirm their identity as part of the application process.

To use the eVisa Check, you must:

  • be an immigrant with a legal right to reside in the UK
  • have a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account with your immigration status recorded online
  • be able to generate a share code for your eVisa at gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status and provide it to us when prompted for verification

When generating the share code, select "To prove my immigration status for anything else" when asked, "Why do you need a share code?". Please note, the share code must begin with the letter "S".

Applications will be rejected if the applicant:

  • is due to be deported from the UK
  • has an expired eVisa
  • submits a photo that does not match the likeness in their eVisa
  • provides the share code linked to someone else's eVisa details
  • submits anything other than the share code, such as a National Insurance Number

The eVisa Check offers a fast and efficient method to verify identity for eligible applicants. Using the share code provided, we will validate your eVisa details to confirm your name, date of birth and likeness.
