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.

- Where is International Bible Students Association based?
- The register lists International Bible Students Association at 1 Kingdom Way, West Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom, CM2 8FW. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.

We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 00136726.
