Progress tracker

Status: Experimental

Added by Beth Halligan in ‘Make and register an LPA’ in September 2025.

How to use ‘experimental’ components

Anyone can add an ‘experimental’ status component to the MoJ Design System. They’re early in development and can be used as a starting point. Read about all the Design System statuses.

The progress tracker component shows the status of a multi-step process.

Overview
Designs
Accessibility
Code

A progress tracker for applying for a Lasting Power of Attorney. Three steps are completed: LPA paid for, your identity confirmed, and LPA signed by you. Four steps remain: LPA certificate provided, LPA signed by all attorneys, OPG’s 4-week waiting period begins, and LPA registered by OPG. The tracker is a vertical list with green and white icons to the left representing the status of each item.

Overview

A visual representation of steps in a process that have and/or must be completed to achieve an outcome.

How the component is currently used

When a user is subject to steps in a process outside of their responsibility or control, a progress tracker supports or replaces a task list by giving a different overview on progress and outcomes.

This differs from a timeline in that it does not log events and grow. It is a pre-fixed set of finite steps. Steps may/may not be completed in any order depending on the process, but the order of the tracker stays fixed.

On the Make and register LPA product we support the tracker with banners above detailing connected events and directions to dated comms from Notify.
