Registered Traveller faster entry through the UK border

Registered Traveller: faster entry through the UK border

Overview

The Registered Traveller service can help you get through the UK border faster.

You can no longer use the Registered Traveller service if you’re from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea or the United States. You may be able to use the ePassport gates instead.

Registered Travellers can use UK channels at some airports and train stations. You can use:

• UK passport entry lanes
• ePassport gates – if your passport has a ‘chip’

If you have an Israeli passport and you’re a Registered Traveller, you cannot currently use ePassport gates.

If you have a visa or biometric residence permit

Before you travel, you should:

• set up access to your online immigration status (eVisa)if you have not done it already
• get a share code to prove your immigration status– a share code is valid for 90 days

If you have a biometric residence permit (BRP), you may be able to use it to travel to the UK until 1 June 2025 if both:

• it expires on or after 31 December 2024
• you still have permission to stay in the UK

You should carry your expired BRP with you – your carrier may ask to see it.
