What it is

TrustID Right to Work is a paid web and API service for checking whether applicants can work legally in the UK. It accepts digital identity documents, share codes and physical documents, including out-of-date British passports. TrustID assesses document validity, identity assurance and work eligibility, then produces a report listing restrictions and any follow-up dates. Checks usually return within minutes. A hiring manager receives an email when the PDF report is ready in the web portal, which needs no software or app download. Reports remain stored for seven days by default before deletion, with longer retention available on request. TrustID says UK-based document analysts and customer service staff are available seven days a week, with a two-hour target during 8am-to-midnight business hours. The service integrates with over 50 ATS and HR providers. Its API submits checks, receives callbacks and retrieves results, fields and reports, with a 1,000-credit minimum commitment.
