Right To Work Checker vs Yoti 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.

Yoti Right to Work provides digital right to work checks for UK and Irish citizens. Candidates can upload identity documents and a selfie, use IDV+ to bring a check into the Digital ID app, or share a reusable Digital ID from their phone. Yoti and the Post Office describe themselves as the UK’s first certified Identity Services Provider under the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework. Employers receive a report containing a passport image and certification metadata, and can keep employee data on Yoti’s encrypted systems or view it in a candidate-management portal. Checks can also be paired with DBS checks. For candidates who are not British or Irish, employers can use a UKVI share code for an immigration status check. Businesses can start with a no-code portal or embed verification in a website or app, with API and SDK support available. Yoti says it integrates with over 70 SaaS products; BambooHR is listed for onboarding checks. Pricing is on request, and the product page directs businesses to contact sales.
