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

Use a different service to check a job applicant’s right to work if they’ve given you their share code. You will not need to check their documents as well.

There will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens currently living in the UK until 30 June 2021, or 31 December 2020 if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. You and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK. The scheme will open fully by 30 March 2019.
