📤 Using the UK Gov Login for Immigration Services
Once logged in, you can manage a wide range of immigration services:
🧾 What You Can Do Inside the Portal:
Apply for a UK visa or extension
Check the status of your application
Access your decision letter or documents
Generate a Share Code to prove your right to work or rent
Update your contact or travel information
Updating Your UKVI Account if You Change Your ID Document
If you update your passport or switch to a new national ID after setting up your UKVI account, don’t forget to update your details online. Your eVisa and immigration status are directly linked to the ID you registered with GOV.UK, so keeping this information current helps prevent delays and avoids problems at borders or when proving your right to live, work, or rent in the UK.
To update your ID document in your GOV.UK account:
- Log in to your GOV.UK One Login.
- Go to your UKVI account profile.
- Follow instructions to add your new passport or ID details.
Tip: Update your UKVI account every time your ID changes—whether you receive a new passport, renew your ID card, or update your personal details. This keeps your immigration record accurate and up-to-date.
Linking Your ID Document to Your UKVI Account and eVisa
Connecting your ID document to your UKVI account is an essential step in accessing your eVisa online. Here’s how to make it seamless:
Quick Guide:
- Go to the Official Portal:
If you’ve received an invitation by email or letter from UKVI, start by visiting [the government’s eVisa guidance page](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/online-immigration-status-evisa). Not all immigration documents currently provide eVisa access, but you can check yours - Verify Your Identity:
Follow the prompts to confirm your identity. This usually involves uploading or scanning your ID document (such as your passport or BRP) using their secure verification process. - Connect Your Document to Your Account:
Once your identity is verified, link your ID document to your UKVI account to ensure your eVisa is assigned correctly. - Wait for Confirmation:
After successfully linking your ID, you’ll receive an email when your eVisa is ready to view in your account. Processing times may vary, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Tip: Double-check that your contact details are up to date so you don’t miss important notifications about your immigration status.
How to Check if You Have Access to an eVisa
Not every immigration document currently provides digital access to an eVisa. To find out if your specific document qualifies, simply head to the official GOV.UK eVisa checker.
What you’ll need:
- Your current immigration document details (e.g., BRP, passport, or other ID information)
Follow the instructions on the page to see if you can view or manage your eVisa online. If you’re not eligible yet, keep checking back—more documents are being added to the system all the time.
