|---|---|---|
| Purpose | The service lets employers check a job applicant’s right to work in the UK. | The API checks UK right to work and right to rent share codes by running the corresponding gov.uk check and returning its answer as JSON. |
It suits UK employers checking applicants’ permission to work, especially those handling time-limited permission or manual document checks. Employers hiring British or Irish citizens need another checking route because those citizens cannot obtain share codes.
It suits UK employers and hiring services that need right to work checks, as well as England landlords and letting agents checking right to rent. API access and callback results may suit teams integrating checks into a workflow.
