Employers who wish to introduce the digital right to work scheme and carry out right to work checks digitally and remotely on UK and Irish in-date passport holders will need to use an accredited IDSP. The IDSP will need to meet Good Practice Guide 45 (GPG 45) Medium Level of Confidence. Employers will no longer be able to verify any right to work documents remotely over video call, and must either choose digital checks for eligible applicants or return to checking documents in person.
After all digital ID checks (in-date British/Irish or eVisa), an employer must confirm the candidate’s identity either via video call or in person after the check and before employment commences.
