Check if a document allows someone to work in the UK

Use this service to find out:

• which types of document give someone the right to work in the UK
• what a right to work check involves for each of them

There will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens living in the UK until 2021. You and your family can apply for ‘settled status’ to continue living in the UK after June 2021. The scheme will open fully by March 2019.
