Common questions about British Board of Film Classification
- Is British Board of Film Classification a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. British Board of Film Classification in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2020. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can British Board of Film Classification sponsor?
- British Board of Film Classification is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is British Board of Film Classification based?
- The register lists British Board of Film Classification at 3 Soho Square, London, W1D 3HD. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
- How current is this information?
- This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 00117289. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
