About this site and the data source

The UK Sponsor List is an independent, searchable copy of the Home Office Register of licensed sponsors: workers, published on GOV.UK. We download the latest CSV file from the GOV.UK publication page every day, group rows by organisation name and town, and record when each organisation first appeared in and disappeared from our copy of the register.

What the data means

The UK Home Office register lists licensed sponsors. A listing does not mean any particular job is sponsored or that the organisation is currently recruiting. A sponsor licence allows an organisation to sponsor workers on the routes shown. Whether a specific role can be sponsored depends on the job, salary and other Home Office rules.

Dates

"First seen" is the earliest register date in which we saw the organisation; our tracking started with the register dated 2026-10-23, so organisations present then show that date even if licensed earlier. "Last seen" is the most recent register that included it. Organisations that drop off the register are marked as removed and excluded from search and the sitemap.
