It is now possible for certain visa applicants to use the UK Immigration ID Check app, providing an alternative option to physically attending an in-person appointment. Below we look at how the mobile app works in practice when making an immigration application for leave to remain in the UK.
The UK Immigration ID Check app is a mobile app that can be downloaded onto a smartphone device and used to complete the identity verification stage of your application to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) for further permission to live, work and study in the UK.
Also known as the Identity Verification (IDV) app, the UK Immigration ID Check app will allow you to send information to UKVI without having to book a face-to-face appointment at a UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) service point. UKVCAS is the official partner of UKVI, providing vital services in connection with immigration applications, including confirming an applicant’s identity, enrolling any biometric information that may be required, and scanning the required documents in support of an in-country application.
Our immigration specialists are on hand to support with UK immigration applications, including use of the IDV app. For expert advice, contact us.
