Automatic eVisa checks are finally here
Chloe Coleman
UK eVisas can be used to prove your right to work, right to rent, or immigration status. But until now, verifying an eVisa has meant entering share codes into GOV.UK one by one and manually handling PDFs.
Although the security of eVisas is improved compared to the biometric residence permits they replaced last year, the ergonomics leave a lot to be desired, especially if you’re handling a lot of them.
Vouchsafe now handles this automatically.
Real-time eVisa validation, built in
Users simply enter their share code and date of birth. Vouchsafe checks the share code with GOV.UK, compares the information in the eVisa to the other evidence we’ve collected, and returns the final result.
The original artefacts are kept in a GDPR-compliant way for you to audit at any time.
There’s no need to chase documents, manually check expiry dates, or compare the eVisa photo to the applicant. Everything is done for you.
It works for all three kinds of share code:
- Right to work
- Right to rent
- Immigration status
At last you can handle eVisas in the same flow as everything else
Until now, eVisas have meant a completely separate business process. Manual checks. Different systems. A break in your workflow.
Vouchsafe fixes that. You can now verify eVisas directly alongside UK passports, driving licences, and other ID types, all in the same platform.
We guide users to the correct share code type and catch common issues, like expired or mismatched codes, before they reach you. The results are presented in a consistent way, and ready to review if needed.
Turn it on today
Team admins can add this step to any flow by choosing eVisa from the list of steps. You can also turn it on as an alternative to something else, such as photo ID.
Your users will be guided through the rest.
