Register of Licensed Sponsors 2026

The Register of Licensed Sponsors is published by the Home Office as a spreadsheet you have to download and search yourself. This is the same list, made searchable: 127,720 UK companies that can sponsor a visa, filterable by industry, visa route or city, and each one shows how many jobs it’s advertising right now, which the spreadsheet can’t tell you. Skilled Worker and the other UK work routes are all in here. Just checking one employer? Use the sponsor licence checker. For a whole sector or city, browse sponsors by industry or sponsors by location, or go straight to the jobs they’re advertising. To see which sponsors had the most certificates of sponsorship, read the top visa sponsors ranking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Register of Licensed Sponsors?

The register is the Home Office's official list of UK employers approved to sponsor overseas workers on Skilled Worker, Health and Care Worker, and other sponsored visa routes. Each row shows the organisation, its town, the visa routes its licence covers, and its rating (A or B).

How often is the Register of Licensed Sponsors updated?

We sync from the official gov.uk register daily, so the list here tracks Home Office additions and removals within a day of publication. New sponsors appear as they're licensed; revoked licences drop off.

Where can I find a list of companies that can sponsor a visa in the UK?

This page is that list, and unlike the Home Office spreadsheet it is searchable. It covers every UK company licensed to sponsor a work visa, across Skilled Worker, Health and Care Worker and the other sponsored routes. Search by company name, or filter by industry, visa route, location or recent hiring, and each sponsor shows how many jobs it is advertising right now.

How do I check if a company is on the Register of Licensed Sponsors?

Type the employer's name into the search box above. If they hold an active UK sponsor licence, you'll see a profile with the visa routes they're approved for, where they're based, and their recent sponsorship activity. No profile means they're either not licensed or have been removed from the register.

What's the difference between this register and the gov.uk version?

The data is the same. We sync straight from the Home Office's official register, updated daily. The difference is what you can do with it: search by keyword, filter by industry and visa route, and see live jobs, salary data, and past visa issuance volumes for each sponsor.

Is this the same as the Tier 2 sponsor list?

Yes. Tier 2 (General) was renamed the Skilled Worker visa in December 2020, and the old Tier 2 sponsor list became this register. If you were sent a Tier 2 sponsor list, this is its current version. The same applies to the old Tier 5 routes, now the temporary work visas. Student sponsors are a separate register the Home Office publishes on its own.
