Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR): Upload Documents When You Can’t Provide a Share Code

If you have indefinite leave to remain and cannot get a share code, on the page **"Please provide a share code"** click **Get a share code**. This seems counterintuitive but this is the only way to open the submission area. This will open the official Home Office website in a new tab. Close the Home Office tab and **go back to the original Zinc submission page tab** (where your checks were open). A new field will appear where you can enter your share code and just underneath this, you will see **"If you can't provide a share code, please tick the box below"**. Tick the box next to **I'm not eligible for a share code** ![ILR1](https://zinc-fini-resource-storage.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Indefinite+Leave+to+Remain+(ILR)+Upload+Documents+When+You+Cant+Provide+a+Share+Code1.png) You will be asked to submit alternative documents which are either - A passport and visa (must not be expired) - An immigration document and proof of National Insurance number Select the option you will be providing and click **Next --> Upload document(s)** In the next page, you will be able to provide those documents. ## For Passports - Your passport must not be expired - No scans or photocopies - Ensure the document is easily readable ## For Visas - Your visa must not be expired - Must be inside your current passport and not a Biometric Residence Permit / Card - Ensure the document is easily readable ![ILR2](https://zinc-fini-resource-storage.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Indefinite+Leave+to+Remain+(ILR)+Upload+Documents+When+You+Cant+Provide+a+Share+Code2.png) ## For proof of your National Insurance number - Accepted proof: P45, P60, payslip, HMRC/benefits letter - It must show your name and NI number - Ensure the document is easily readable ![ILR3](https://zinc-fini-resource-storage.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Indefinite+Leave+to+Remain+(ILR)+Upload+Documents+When+You+Cant+Provide+a+Share+Code3.png) Once you've added your documents into Zinc, click **Upload documents**. Those documents will now be pending review by your employer with a **Consider** status. Don't worry - this doesn't mean there's a problem or your right to work is invalid. It simply means your employer needs to take a closer look at your documents and take notes on any dates or rules that apply to your visa.
