Worker sponsor register updated on 4 November 2026
05 Nov 2026
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) updated its register of licensed sponsors again on 4 November 2026. The GOV.UK page shows 4 November 2026 as its last updated date.
The register is described as a "List of organisations licensed to sponsor workers on the Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes." The page says it includes "the category of workers they're licensed to sponsor and their sponsorship rating." The latest file is dated 2026-11-04.
The change note is a standard one and does not say which employers were added or removed. So we cannot tell you what changed for any single employer.
If you hold or plan to apply for a sponsored work visa, you can search the register to see whether an employer is listed and under which category. Use the latest version, as the page is updated often. If you cannot find your employer, ask them to confirm their licence status before you accept an offer or apply.
