How to Process British and Irish Passport Holders Right to Work Documents

You can check these documents manually in person or you can use an IDSP (a technology partner). Zinc is directly integrated with Onfido, a Digital Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) provider and a certified Identity Service Provider (IDSP), that helps verify someone's right to work in the UK online. When the candidate has completed the digital identity verification process, you should only accept results that meet at least a **Medium Level of Confidence** - otherwise, you'll need to check their passport manually. ## What you need to do To establish a statutory excuse, the employer must conduct an imposter check. - This involves verifying, either in person or via video call, that the individual presenting themselves for work matches the photograph and biographic details provided in the IDVT check output Only once this consistency is confirmed will the employer have a statutory excuse for the right to work check. ## Keep records You must keep a clear copy of the digital identity check results for as long as the person works for you, plus two years after they leave. In order to demonstrate that the imposter check has been completed, you can use the **Comments** on the candidate's report to record when and how the check was completed, and by whom. Whilst this step is not explicitly documented in the Home Office guidance, it is inferred and adherence to the requirement cannot be demonstrated if not recorded.
