Credas Right to Work vs Right To Work Checker

Credas Right to Work provides online and remote checks for employers and recruitment agencies hiring in the UK. It uses real-time facial recognition to compare an identity document with the person completing a check, and lists biometric NFC chip reading and integrated anti-fraud checks. Credas says it connects with the UK Government’s online Right to Work checking system and supports eVisas and online immigration status checks. Checks can be completed in an app or browser, with API options for systems including CRM, case management, learning management, websites, and client onboarding. For checks through a certified Identity Service Provider, the product FAQ says only a current British or Irish passport is accepted. Credas verifies identity as an IDSP; the employer must review the result and determine the individual’s right to work. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration. Credas says captured data is encrypted and held on UK-based enterprise cloud servers, and lists ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

Right To Work Checker is a web and API service that checks UK right to work and right to rent share codes. It runs the corresponding gov.uk check and returns an answer as JSON, including the outcome, dates, conditions, applicant photo, and a gov.uk PDF. The right to work check is intended for employers, recruitment agencies, and platforms hiring in the UK. The right to rent check is for landlords and letting agents in England and applies to every adult tenant. The home page offers two live checks daily without an account; the Free plan includes 10 live checks a month and stops at that limit. Pro costs £14/month for 100 live checks, then £0.25 per check. Asynchronous checks can post signed results to a callback URL on every plan, including sandbox. Documentation provides cURL, Node.js, and Python examples, and says Node.js needs no SDK. Live inputs and gov.uk pages are retained for up to seven days to investigate failed or disputed checks, then deleted automatically. The service says it is not affiliated with HM Government, the Home Office, or gov.uk.
