View and prove your immigration status
A UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account can be used by eligible users to view and prove their immigration status online. This may be required to provide proof of your status to employers or higher education providers.
The service can also be used to update personal details or to check what rights you have in the UK, for example the right to work, rent or claim benefits.
You will have a UKVI if you have ever:
- applied to the EU Settlement Scheme;
- used the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to prove your identity when applying for a visa;
- created one when applying for a visa (you will have received a UKVI account confirmation email); and
- created one to get access to an eVisa (an online record of your immigration status) - you will have received an email about this.
If you are unable to access your account, then you will need to recover your UK Visas and Immigration Account by calling the UK Visas and Immigration phone line on 0300 790 6268.
