UK Sponsor Licence Checker by Annaizulast updated 16 October 2026
Search the UK register of licensed sponsors
Search organisations currently listed on the GOV.UK register of Worker and Temporary Worker sponsors. Filter by location, sponsor route, licence rating and other available register data.
A sponsor licence allows an organisation to sponsor eligible workers on relevant UK immigration routes. Being listed does not mean an employer is currently hiring or will sponsor a particular applicant.
A sponsor licence is permission, not a promise. It lets a company sponsor migrant workers. It does not mean they are hiring.
Ratings run A and B: A is compliant, B means the Home Office found problems and gave the sponsor time to fix them. Licences split into Worker (longer routes like Skilled Worker) and Temporary Worker (time-limited routes like Charity Worker or Seasonal Worker) - some organisations hold both.
