Due to essential planned maintenance, the portal will be unavailable on March 19^th 2025 between the hours of 18:00 - 22:00. Normal service will resume after this time. If you experience any difficulties after this time please contact the UKSV Helpdesk.

We are currently working to update and modernise this portal and our various vetting forms including the Security Questionnaire to improve the user experience and functionality. These changes will impact the look and feel of the forms only and not the information and questions within them.
While the changes are being implemented we will be running both an old and new version of some forms. Any forms started on the old version will be completed in that version and you will not lose any information when the new version of a form is introduced.
Please ensure that you continue to complete all forms in a timely manner. Any forms not completed within 30 days will be cancelled and automatically deleted from the system. If you have any questions, please contact the UKSV Helpdesk.
