Prove your right to work to an employer

Share details of your right to work in the UK, including:

  • the types of job you’re allowed to do
  • how long you can work in the UK for

You’ll need either:

  • a biometric residence permit (BRP) number
  • a biometric residence card (BRC) number

You can also use your passport or national identity card if you got settled status in the EU Settlement Scheme trial. You’ll be able to apply from March 2019 if you’re not eligible for the trial.

You can continue to use your EU passport or national identity card to prove you can work in the UK until 31 December 2020.

If you’re an employer use a different service to view a job applicant’s right to work details.
