No country found. The identity verification system accepts documents from more than 200 countries, including countries not listed here. Tell us about your situation.
Where there is no Right to Work If your country is listed as a screening service, we do not perform that assessment; it remains the employer’s responsibility. Screening certificates are always issued by the competent national authority. If your country is not listed, the identity check still applies outside of that list.
All other countries
160For these countries, the identity check reads the passport and, where the country issues them, the national ID card and driver’s license. Work eligibility and screening are regulated at the national level in those countries, and we do not conduct that assessment.
