FAQ

Can I link multiple identification documents or passports to my online proof of settled or pre-settled status?

Yes. You can update your online account to include more than one identification document or passport. You might want to do this if for example you have more than one passport, more than one nationality, or if you have both a passport and a national identity card, and you want the flexibility to travel with either. 

You will also want to do this if you renew your passport or national identity card - you can add the new identity document. The previous identity documents should stay listed on your UKVI account.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When a user adds an additional identity document to their UVKI account, this automatically becomes their sign in document and only that document can be used to sign in. Any documents that have been registered to the account can be used for the purposes of travel.

Since January 2024, it should be possible to see a list of identity documents linked to your account when you access the system to update your UKVI account via https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details. All linked documents should be shown under ‘Personal details’, underneath your photo. The document to be used for logging in should be shown under ‘Sign in details’. 

If you find that your account does not correctly show the identity documents that you have registered to your account, please contact us.
