Using common components

You should use common components to make it easy to build user-centred government services.

Why you should use common components

Using common government components makes it easy to build user-centred services because you do not have to invent your own solution to problems. For example, instead of each service team getting a payment provider, we’ve created one payment product that can be used by everyone.

These components will be supported in the future, updated and expanded using research about what works for government users.

GOV.UK Forms

GOV.UK Forms allows users to create an accessible form-type interface without needing to know any code.

Find out more about GOV.UK Forms.

GOV.UK Notify

GOV.UK Notify is a product to keep users updated by helping government service teams to send text messages, emails or letters.

Find out more about GOV.UK Notify.

GOV.UK Pay

GOV.UK Pay is a product that allows users to make payments to government in the same way, regardless of what service they’re using. Whether they’re applying for a passport or renewing a licence, they’ll be using the same payment process.

GOV.UK Pay allows service teams to manage payments, including things like reconciliation and refunds.
