# What documents do I need for a UK Right to Work Check?

The documents you'll need to provide for a UK Right to Work check depend on your nationality and your permission to work in the UK.

The type of document you provide also determines how your right to work can be verified.

### **If you're a UK or Irish citizen**

The preferred document is:

- A British or Irish passport with a machine-readable zone code (MRZ code).

If you don't have a passport, you can provide:

- A UK or Irish birth certificate.

If you provide a **UK birth certificate**, you'll also need **one** document showing your National Insurance number, such as:

- A P45 or P60.
- A letter from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) about tax or tax credits.
- A bank statement showing Class 2 National Insurance contributions or benefit payments that include your National Insurance number.
- A payslip, salary statement, or workplace pension statement showing your National Insurance number.
- A letter from the Pension Service or Jobcentre Plus (not handwritten).
- A National Insurance number card (not handwritten).

### **If you're not a UK or Irish citizen**

Please provide **one** of the following:

- A valid UK Residence Card.
- A valid UK share code generated within the last **3 months**. ([apply for a share code online)](https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/get-a-share-code-online)

If you're providing a share code, please make sure it is still valid when you submit it.
