Check if a document allows someone to work in the UK

You can use this tool 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

If an applicant has given you their right to work share code you can use a different service to check a job applicant's right to work: use their share code. You will not need to check their documents as well.
