Credas Right to Work vs TrustID Right to Work

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.

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 It accepts digital identity documents, share codes and physical documents, including out-of-date British passports.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.
