In line with Government legislation, when a candidate’s Right to Work (RTW) and / or Identification (ID) documents can’t be verified digitally using Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) i.e. via the Digital Pre-employment checking System (DPEC) – Amiqus, the Recruiting Manager (RM) is required to complete an offline in person check of their original documents.
If the RM is unable to arrange a suitable time with the candidate to attend a local office to provide their original documents the candidate will be offered an alternative option. The candidate will be asked to post their documents to Stella House for HRSS to complete the offline check.
Note - Where a RTW check has been conducted using a share code via Home Office online checking service, the information is provided in real-time directly from Home Office systems and there is no requirement to check any RTW documentation offline.
Examples of when an offline check is required include:
• Candidate has an expired British/Irish passport or expired Irish passport card
• Candidate provides a birth certificate and proof of national insurance number
• Candidate is unable to provide any form of photo ID
