How to conduct a right-to-work check on British and Irish citizens
30 June 2022
Since 6 April 2022 there are three ways to conduct a right-to-work check on a new joiner who holds British or Irish citizenship:
- an in-person manual right-to-work check using original documents;
- a remote manual right-to-work check (up to 30 September 2022); and
- a digital right-to-work check using a third party identity service provider (IDSP).
This video sets out the steps to be followed for each one of these check methods.
