After submitting your visa information you must now verify your identity. To do this follow the steps or watch the video below and confirm once this has been completed.
Download the app: On a mobile phone, download the UK IMMIGRATION: ID CHECK app (purple icon). This can be downloaded on apple devices or on android devices
Connection Code: Open the app, click continue & then select the connection code option. You will now see your unique connection code.
UKVI Login: Log in to your online application account that Borderless created using the following link and sign in by confirming your BRP card number and date of birth. **IMPORTANT** - make sure to use this link as there are different links for each application type. You should make sure the application says Skilled Worker.
Account verification: If requested, follow the instructions on screen to verify your mobile number and email address. Click "confirm your phone number" and then "confirm your email address" if you see these buttons.
Connect your UKVI account: Under your applications, click 'Continue Application' then click 'Confirm your identity'. Then keep clicking yes & continue until you see the page that says 'Continue on the app'. Now enter the connection code that you have from step 2 and click continue. Your account will now be connected to the app.
Check the Immigration app: This may take a few seconds, but once connected, you will now need to verify your identity using your email address or phone number.
ID Check: Follow the instructions on the screen to take photos of your BRP, scan the BRP chip, scan your face and then take your photo. Finally, you will be asked to confirm your information and click 'Submit Information'. Please note: this can be difficult for some users. If it is not working on your device, please try another phone before contacting us.
Confirm completion: You will now see a screen saying 'Identity details submitted'. You can now click disconnect, close the app and return here to confirm that you have completed the identity checks by clicking "Completed" In the "Complete ID Check" Section on your VISA application. Please only click confirm if you have completed the ID checks, otherwise this may delay the submission of your application.
Please note: if you are unable to use the app to verify your identity, we will need to book you a biometrics appointment. The next available appointment will be at least 3 weeks away & sometimes costs up to £150 per person so if possible, we highly recommend that you try using the app to verify your identity.
