Adviser Finder and Adviser Register temporarily unavailable
The UK Immigration Advice Authority has temporarily suspended its Adviser Finder and Adviser Register tools for essential checks, with a planned return early next week.
The Immigration Advice Authority has taken its Adviser Finder and Adviser Register offline to conduct essential system checks and assurance activities. The disruption affects users seeking to locate registered immigration advisers or verify their registration status. The authority has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the temporary unavailability of these tools. It has not specified the exact nature of the checks but stated they are necessary to ensure the integrity of the services.
Users are advised to wait until the Adviser Finder is restored before selecting an immigration adviser, if possible. Those needing to verify an adviser’s registration are instructed to submit an enquiry to the authority or wait for the Adviser Register to come back online. The authority has warned against using advisers whose registration status cannot be confirmed during this period.
The authority is collaborating with its technical supplier to complete the system checks and restore both tools as soon as possible. No specific timeline for the restoration has been provided beyond an expected return early next week. The disruption follows routine maintenance practices to ensure the reliability of the services.
An update on the status of the Adviser Finder and Adviser Register is scheduled to be published on Monday, 9 November 2026. The authority has not indicated whether the disruption will extend beyond the planned restoration date. Users are encouraged to monitor official communications for further information.
