Right To Work Checker vs TrustID Right to Work

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.

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 It accepts digital identity documents, share codes and physical documents, including out-of-date British passports.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