UKVCAS Login Issue

Hello everyone!

I hope someone can help me with my issue.
Last week, I paid for the BC fee for my family. Then upon accessing the UKVCAS(Sopra Steria) site to make a biometrics appointment, it asks for my user and password. I used my email address and the same password from the gov.uk site and I get the message saying either my username or password is wrong. I also received an email saying that someone tried to access my account (which is me); which then eliminates that my username is actually correct. I was able to successfully reset my password and use it to login in the gov.uk site. Redo all the steps to set a biometric appointment but I still receive the error message.

I would appreciate any help, thanks!

I was having trouble with UKVCAS website when I was trying to register using chrome browser.

I found using different browser (safari) solved the issue.

In your case it might not work but worth trying.

What issue did you encounter with Chrome? I tried Edge but same user/password issue. Thanks

Nothing used to happen when I clicked on few buttons and page crashed after I refreshed (with message contact administrator).

You need to register on the ukvcas website first then you can access your account.

That was I was expecting to do. But when I click Book an Appointment and eventually get diverted to the Sopra Steria site, it asks for user/password straight away.
Last year when we did ILR, it asked for a code to be sent to do the registration. But this did not happen this time. I do not know the work around on how to get registered properly.
I hope someone could help.

I guess you use the same email for ILR application before so no need to register again.

Just log in with ur previous password and it should work.
