Bulk licence checking
Stop searching gov.uk
one licence at a time
Upload your entire workforce in a single CSV and verify every SIA licence against the official register in seconds — not hours.
The problem with manual SIA checks
Navigate to the SIA public register on gov.uk for every single operative
Manually enter each 16-digit licence number and wait for results
Copy results into a spreadsheet — status, expiry, sector — by hand
Repeat the entire process every week to stay compliant
For a company with 100 operatives, manual checking takes over 5 hours every week.
