Who it’s for / Legal and authorising officers
Answer the Home Office with confidence
As your Authorising Officer, you answer for everything done on the licence, even as more people across the business sponsor and manage workers. Borderless gives you a live view of every sponsored worker, logs who did what and when, tracks every reporting deadline, and has IAA-regulated immigration advisers review anything that goes to the Home Office. When the Home Office asks, you have the answer.

What you answer for
The responsibility sits with you
The Authorising Officer is responsible for the licence and for what every SMS user does.
Accountability

Questions we’re often asked
Does Borderless become responsible for our licence?
No. Your organisation stays responsible for its sponsor duties, and your Authorising Officer stays named on the licence. Borderless gives you the records, the deadlines and a regulated adviser.
Who reviews what goes to the Home Office?
An IAA-regulated immigration adviser reviews anything before it’s submitted, and nothing goes in until you approve it.
Can you handle appeals or court work?
No. Our advisers work at Level 1, which doesn’t cover appeals, tribunals or judicial review. Your adviser tells you early if a case needs that.
How long are records kept?
Right to work checks must be kept while the person works for you and for two years after. Borderless keeps each check on the worker’s file with the date it was done.
