Right to Work Check: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain digital proof of your legal right to work in the United Kingdom and how to manage your share code.
This scheme allows non-UK citizens to obtain digital proof that they are legally allowed to hold employment in the United Kingdom.
Who it's for
This check is designed for non-UK citizens who need to prove their legal status to employers.
What you get
You receive a digital proof of your right to work. This is a way to show employers you are legally allowed to be employed without needing to carry physical documents.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary cost mentioned, but you will need to use the official portal to generate a share code. This code is the digital key used to verify your status.
The catch to know
The share codes you generate are temporary. They expire after 90 days, so you may need to generate a new one if your employer needs to verify your status again after that time.
How to apply
- Visit the official government portal.
- Follow the instructions to provide your necessary details.
- Generate your digital share code.
- Share this code with your employer for verification.
