Stay current with legislation
Following recent legislative changes to Right to Work identity screening, UK employers now have the option of performing Right to Work checks remotely using digital identity service providers (IDSPs).
Our service is certified against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework (DIATF) and government rules for digital identity services. We are registered with government as a digital identity service provider.
Help to navigate the changes
On October 1st 2022, the temporary remote screening measures put in place during the pandemic came to an end. If you’re an employer, you will now need to choose one of the following three ways to verify the identity of your applicants:
A hard copy, manual Right to Work identity check
A hard copy, manual Right to Work identity check
A hard copy, manual Right to Work identity check
What are the benefits of a digital screening solution?
Checking applicants’ Right to Work status manually can be laborious, time-consuming, costly and inconvenient – for both employers and applicants. Digital checking has many advantages over manual identity screening. It is faster, more convenient and more accurate.
