12 Nov How can I prove my Immigration Status in the UK?

To prove your Settled Status (or Pre-Settled Status) in the UK you need digital proof.  Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-step: How to prove your Settled Status

1. Go to the official government website

👉 https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

2. Log in to your UKVI account

You’ll need:

• The identity document you used in your application for pre-settled status or any e-Visa (passport, ID card, or biometric residence card).
• Your date of birth.
• The email address or phone number you used for your application (you’ll receive a security code).

3. Generate a share code

Once logged in:

• Choose “Prove your status”.
• Click “Get a share code”.
• Select what the code is for. There are 3 options to select:

1. To prove my right to work
2. To prove my right to rent in England
3. To prove my immigration status for anything else

• Then you see your details in your UKVI account and click “Create a share code”.
• You’ll receive a share code (valid for 90 days).

You can Print this page, Download PDF or Send code by email.

4. Download confirmation

• You can Print this page, Download PDF or Send code by email.
• The status page shows your name, status (Settled or Pre-Settled), and share code — useful as backup proof.

You can then:

• Show the share code to an employer, landlord, or anyone needs to confirm your immigration status.
• They can check it at: https://www.gov.uk/view-right-to-work (for employers) or https://www.gov.uk/view-right-to-rent (for landlords)

💡 Extra tips
