Description

The UK Immigration: ID Check app lets you confirm your identity online as part of a visa application.
If you use this app, you will not have to attend an appointment to confirm your identity.
Who can use the app
• EU, European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss citizens
• British national (overseas) visa (BNO) applicants who have a BNO or Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) passport
• Graduate visa applicants who have a UK biometric residence permit (BRP)
Before you start
You must follow the steps in the online application form before using the app.
You will need to be in a well-lit area, so you can take a good quality photograph of yourself.
You will need either:
• a biometric residence permit (BRP) - if you’re applying for a graduate visa and are not from the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or a Swiss citizen, you must use your BRP
• a passport that has a chip (also called a ‘biometric passport’)
You need to use:
• an iPhone 7 or newer
• iOS 15 or later
How it works
1. Take a photo of your identity document.
2. Access the chip in your identity document using your phone.
3. Scan your face using the camera on your phone.
4. Take a photo of yourself for your digital status.
What happens next
The app only helps confirm your identity. You must still complete the rest of your application. We will tell you how to do this when you finish using the app.
Privacy and security
The app is safe and secure. Your personal information will not be stored in the app or on the phone when you finish using it.
For information on staying safe online please visit the UK Cyber Aware website.

UK Immigration Reviews

Works fine

Yash2492 on

United Kingdom

Notified poor review for this app, but it worked well for me. Maybe they have fixed all the bugs now.

Waste a lot of time

陈十咩咩咩 on

United Kingdom

Stay loading when I try to open the camera

Hire some talented people to code this

Language Gurus Limited on

United Kingdom

The app only provides connection code or scan codes and CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. What a loss of time and annoyance!!!

Worked like a charm!

MaxSchellenberg on

United Kingdom

I’m impressed.

Not read chip of BRP

Delverdebosque on

United Kingdom

I’ve tried many times, it does not read the chip of BRP

IS IT A JOKE??????

All0987lol on

United Kingdom

Doesnt even scan the document? Like seriously? In this generation? In a developed nation????

Absolute useless

misterhammy on

United Kingdom

The UK is finished, going down the drain. Can’t even afford proper developers to create a basic app.

Solution for Chip Not Found

junaid4jd on

United Kingdom

if you're facing chip not found or unable to scan BRP, here's the solution. You need to scan the front side of the card. Place the card on table or somewhere horizontally (don't hold it) . place the phone horizontally on card. try to place the phone in a way that you can see a little part of card under phone from photo side. don't move the card or phone. that's it

Does not scan anything

Lost & Disgruntled on

United Kingdom

Probably the worst visa experience of my life. It wouldn’t scan anything I put in front of it and I have given up trying to get my visa now. I think I have lost hope and I pray I’ll ever use this app in my life ever again.

After access chip completed it is stuck

Rohith R Nair on

United Kingdom

For me it works until access chip, then it says access chip completed and a waiting logo (the loading icon) appears, but it doesn’t move forward from there, I have waited for a long time. Please fix this app because having glitches in a very important app like this is a security issue as well.
