Candidate ID verification

When manually checking a candidate’s original documents, you must:

  • the documents are genuine, original and unchanged and belong to the person who has given them to you
  • photos are the same across all documents and look like the applicant
  • dates of birth are the same across all documents
  • if 2 documents give different names, the applicant has supporting documents showing why they’re different, such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree

If the applicant is not a British or Irish citizen, you’ll also need to check that:

  • the dates for the applicant’s right to work in the UK have not expired
  • the applicant has permission to do the type of work you’re offering (including any limit on the number of hours they can work)
  • for students you see evidence of their study and vacation times
