UK licensed sponsor list (Home Office register)
The Home Office publishes the Register of Licensed Sponsors as a large spreadsheet of more than 127,000 organisations. We make it searchable in seconds.
What the official list contains
Each row shows the organisation name, town, county, type and rating (for example “Worker (A rating)”) and the route, such as Skilled Worker. It does not show the sector, vacancies or contact details.
What we add
- Instant search by company name or town.
- Care-provider labels from Companies House “nature of business” codes.
- Daily lists of added and removed sponsors.
- Links to Companies House and to live job searches.

Questions
Where is the official UK licensed sponsor list?
On GOV.UK, as the “Register of licensed sponsors: workers”, which is published as a CSV file and updated most working days.
Is the sponsor list free to use?
Yes. The register is public and published under the Open Government Licence. Our search is free too.
Does being on the list mean a company has jobs?
No. It means the organisation can sponsor workers. Check its own website for vacancies, and never pay for a job or a CoS.
