## UK Immigration Description
The UK Immigration: ID Check app lets you confirm your identity online when:
•	applying for a visa
•	updating your personal details on your UKVI account
•	setting up access to your online immigration status (eVisa)


Before you start

You must follow the steps in the online application form, account update or eVisa 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 need to use:
• an iPhone 8 or newer
• iOS 16 or later


If you are applying for a visa

If you use this app when you apply for a visa, you will not have to attend an appointment to confirm your identity.

You can use this app if you are:
•	an EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or Swiss citizen
•	a British national (overseas) visa (BNO) applicant with a BNO or Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) passport
•	a graduate visa applicant with a UK biometric residence permit (BRP)

You will need either:
•	a passport that has a chip (also called a ‘biometric passport’)
•	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.

If you use a BRP, it must not have expired more than 18 months ago.


If you are setting up access to your eVisa 
 
You will need either a biometric residence permit (BRP) or a passport.
 
If you use a BRP, it must not have expired more than 18 months ago. 
 

If you are updating the personal details on your UKVI account
 
You will need a passport or other identity document with your new details. Your document must have a biometric chip.


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 in United Kingdom

### *---- "The app doesn’t work"
The website says that I have connected to the app using the code but there is no next step on the app. The qr code is never recognised.
-- waruiina, 2024-12-27

### *---- "It DOESN’T work"
It doesn’t work at all
-- Yush18, 2024-12-27

### *---- "This is Rubbish"
I have been using this app since August 2024 but it’s still not able to scan my brp. I don’t know what to do now.
-- mc kenzie2607, 2024-12-27

### ***** "UK immigration"
It’s hard to use and I’m not able to download the upgrade
-- saeedslayer, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Does not work!"
Tried multiple times on multiple iPhones. QR code scanning doesn’t work! Claims the code is wrong despite it coming from the GOV.uk site. Connection code doesn’t work! Enter the code into the web browser and it says it’s connected but the app then spins for about 60 seconds and says it doesn’t receive the code. What an utter waste of an app!!
-- ScuzziUK, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Worst app I have seen"
Still unable to prove identity. App doesn’t work it never opens the App automatically It also doesn’t work when using connection code. Just terrible. Don’t know what to do
-- Akashius, 2024-12-25

### *---- "Where are you Developers?"
Can gov not read all the reviews. Where are developers ?
-- Rakz, 2024-12-24

### *---- "DOES NOT WORK"
Cannot make this app work. Absolutely shocking.
-- Annoyed iphone6 user, 2024-12-23

### *---- "?"
Cannot differentiate between given and middle names. After scanning the BRP for an hour, the app still detects the entire name as the surname. Pathetic app.
-- cirlspq, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Does not work"
It just does not work. I’ve tried in other phones too. Simply useless.
-- MatSenger, 2024-12-23

### ****- "Not bad"
Over-hated to be honest. Theres nothing majorly wrong about the app aside from the connection code needing 2 devices and being a bit unclear but after that its all very smooth and kinda high tech.
-- Mr gun is so good bro, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Quick and easy"
I went through the confirmation on my iPhone 12, and it all took me up to 5 minutes. Very quick and easy, the main thing is to read and follow all the instructions correctly. The app works on a high level
-- marchenkoko, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Worse app ever"
The worse app ever! Ive been trying to connect for hours and its not working! On the laptop once you put the code in, it says connected to the app but the app keeps saying not connected! So frustrating
-- Gj vg f, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Absolutely horrible"
Very bad not work worst app in world
-- Shini bobo, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Maybe the bugs are fixed?"
I just used this and it was very quick and easy to verify everything. It scanned by BRP without any issues (for reference, I have an iPhone 16). I was a bit worried to use it based on all the other reviews, but was very pleasantly surprised! Maybe the bugs have been fixed? Hoping everyone else has an easy time with it as well!
-- Mom1098765, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Stupid"
I tried several time and still not working 
Such a shame
-- 4x4 Pikachu, 2024-12-22

### *---- "Mr"
A complete disaster, totally impractical, absurd to design and create such a pointless app for such an invaluable work is entirely out of my comprehension!!!!!!
-- Seflondon, 2024-12-22

### *---- "EVisa ID CHECK"
What an absolute JOKE this app is. I don’t usually leave a review on the apps but after a two days of trying to get into the app im giving up. Please fix it or find other way how to get your ID CHECK. The visa centre is 2 hrs away and unfortunately I have better things to do than to travel there.
-- Lucy98765123, 2024-12-21

### *---- "This app doesn’t work properly"
The app lost the connection every time, even scanning QR code
-- Sr. Ramirez, 2024-12-21

### *---- "Not working on iPhone 15"
I had used this before on Samsung and it worked now it’s not working at all
-- BettyGioun, 2024-12-20
