How to get your share code, step by step

What you need

• The passport or national identity card you used when applying for settled or pre-settled status (or the document linked to your account).
• Your date of birth.
• Access to the email address or mobile number on your UKVI account, to receive the verification code.

Step by step

1. Visit gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status and select Start now.
2. Sign in to your UKVI account using your document number and date of birth.
3. Enter the verification code sent by email or text message.
4. You will see your status. Choose the option to prove your status to another person or organisation and the most appropriate reason.
5. Copy your share code and keep it together with its expiry date.
6. Give it to whoever requests it (Student Finance, your university or CalmaLink), together with your date of birth.

Tip: take a screenshot of the code and its expiry date and upload it to your CalmaLink account. That way, you will not lose it.

If something goes wrong

• You have a new passport: update your details in your UKVI account before generating the code.
• The verification code does not arrive: check your spam folder or update the email address or mobile number on your account.
• Your status is not shown correctly: contact the EU Settlement Resolution Centre through GOV.UK.
