View and prove your immigration status: get a share code

You can use this service to:

  • get a ‘share code’ to prove your status to others, for example employers
  • update personal details in your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account, for example your passport number or email address
  • check what rights you have in the UK, for example the right to work, rent or claim benefits

Who can use this service

You can only use this service if you have a UKVI account.

You’ll have a UK Visas and Immigration account if you’ve 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’ll have received a UKVI account confirmation email)
  • created one to get access to an eVisa (an online record of your immigration status)

If you do not have a UKVI account

There are different services to prove your right to work to an employer and to prove your right to rent to a landlord.

View or prove your immigration status

You’ll need:

  • details of the identity document you use to sign in to your UKVI account (your passport, national identity card, or biometric residence card or permit)
  • your date of birth
  • access to the mobile number or email address you use to sign in to your UKVI account - you’ll be sent a code for signing in
