“Definitely the best customer service I’ve had from a business. Highly recommend!”
Kyle Brown, 21 January 2026To complete an application, you’ll need to check:
You should never make assumptions about a person’s eligibility to work in the UK or their immigration status. As an employer, it’s your responsibility to carry out checks on all prospective employees.
With Digital Right to Work checks, employers send an application link to their candidates. Candidates then photograph their documents and take a selfie to confirm their identity. Employers will then receive the results.
The process can be as fast as 2 minutes if the applicant completes the process as soon as it appears. However, it can take longer if the applicant waits to complete the process.
Digital Identity Verification allows applicants to digitally prove their identity by sharing ID documents using our sister-service, TrustID.
Digital Right to Work checks use Digital ID verification to prove their Right to Work in the UK.
Both services can only be used in conjunction with uCheck’s DBS checking service.
For Digital Right to Work checks, you can accept:
For manual Right to Work checks, the Home Office provides two lists of documents (list A and list B) that employers can accept as a person’s proof of right to work in the UK. You must only accept documents on these lists – no other documents are acceptable as proof.List A is made of documents that can be accepted for a person with a permanent right to work – for example,
List B is made of documents that can be accepted for a person with a temporary right to work. This could be:
With our Right to Work service, once the check has been carried out, the results will either show ‘Complete’ if the check was completed successfully and the documents verified, or ‘Error’ if:
If you encounter an error, you can easily re-check the applicant by re-uploading any images. However, if the result shows the document has been manipulated, the Platform won’t allow you to re-check, and you will need to seek help from the Home Office.
At uCheck, we provide help and guidance in completing and securely storing your employees’ proof of right to work. Whether it’s on an individual case-by-case basis or across multiple sites within your organisation, we can assist you every step of the way.
Our online platform ensures all documents are stored securely with a full audit and reporting functions, and our electronic verification service helps to minimise security concerns by quickly and reliably determining whether certain documents have been manipulated.
