Non-urgent advice: UKFP 2026: Update on the release of Pre-allocation application outcomes
Further to the announcement on 19 December 2025 which confirmed that there would be a delay to the release of Pre-allocation application outcomes, we can now confirm that outcomes will not be released to applicants until the new year in 2026.
We would like to sincerely apologise for this delay and the inconvenience this may cause you. The delay is due to unforeseen circumstances outside of the control of the UKFPO.
The date that outcomes will be released in 2026 will be made available as soon as possible and will be published on the front page of the UKFPO website.
Please regularly refer to the UKFPO website for further updates. We thank you for your patience.
