You may view the sponsor licence expiry date on the Licence Summary Page of the Sponsor Management System (SMS) of your business.
Employers receive sponsor licences valid for four years from the Home Office. Failure to renew the licence before the expiry date causes it to expire automatically. This means they have failed with sponsorship duties to manage their licence.
This is why the Home Office sends email notifications 30 days before licence expiration. The emails are reminders to the organisation’s Authoring Officer (AO) and Level One Users specified in the SMS.
The Home Office assumes that this notification will be received and read by the key personnel at the organisation. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes the reminder email even goes to the junk folder of the organisation’s inbox.
