UK Sponsor Licence Compliance Software
SMS System is compliance tracking software built for the 141,956 organisations on the UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors. It tracks the deadlines, records, and evidence UKVI expects to see during a sponsor compliance visit — so a routine audit stays routine.
Why it matters
- 141,956 licensed sponsors on the Home Office register, all bound by the same Part 3 sponsor duties.
- 10 working days to report most changes (salary, role, work location, absences); 20 working days when a sponsored worker leaves.
- Appendix D sets the records every sponsor must keep — contact history, right-to-work evidence, CoS copies, salary and absence records.
- UKVI revocation removes the licence and curtails sponsored workers' visas — see our guide on what happens when a sponsor licence is revoked.
How SMS System helps
- Reporting deadline tracker — auto-starts the 10/20-working-day clock the moment a reportable event is logged.
- CoS extraction — uploads CoS PDFs and extracts the use-by date, visa expiry date, salary, and SOC code without manual entry.
- Appendix D evidence pack — generates a per-worker pack on demand: RTW, CoS, payslips, absences, contact log.
- Salary monitor — flags workers below the SW 14.3B rolling-window threshold before UKVI does.
