Understand how digital identity checks, share codes, and Home Office verification work together - with clear steps, realistic timelines, and no unnecessary confusion.
Work and rent checks without confusion.
Right to Work and Right to Rent checks are mandatory in the UK, but many people find the process stressful because requirements are strict and mistakes can lead to delays, refusals, or repeated checks.
We guide you through how these checks are structured, what information is usually reviewed, and how identity and status records are assessed. You complete all steps yourself, with clear explanations of what is being checked and why.
We explain how share codes work, what employers and landlords are required to verify, and what commonly causes problems — such as expired checks, mismatched personal details, or incomplete digital records.
