Outsourced Right To Work Checks
A right-to-work check is an integral part of the employment screening process, whereby a candidate’s documentation is checked to verify that they have legal permission to work in the UK. Recently, the way in which right-to-work checks are conducted has changed, and digitalisation has brought about a much more efficient process.

The Process
Digital right to work checks are only available for candidates that hold a British or Irish passport or Irish Identity card
Only the following documents will be acceptable for UK digital right to work checks:
- Valid British Passport
- Valid Irish Passport
- Valid Irish ID cards
If the candidate has a valid UK/Irish Passport or Irish ID card:
Candidate will receive a branded email or SMS to invite them to complete digital RTW checks online using a secure link. The candidate is asked to take an image of their valid document along with a selfie using a mobile device or desktop camera. The system performs liveness detection, facial biometrics, and document validation. The result will be included in the candidate screening report.
If the candidate does not have a valid UK/Irish Passport or Irish ID card:
Candidates without a current UK / Irish passport cannot verify their RTW ID digitally, and the employer will need to conduct face to face checks from the 1st October 2022. We will highlight any candidates that we have not been able to perform this check.
The employer’s duty
By using CV Insight Digital right to work service we can assist you with your statutory excuse for UK RTW. The checks we perform are compliant with the home office guidelines for employers throughout the UK.
It is recommended that you as the employer verify the details of the digital right checks we perform with employees who will present themselves for work. This is required to confirm the individual is not a fraud.
