As with the current digital checking systems, it is expected that when illegal working is encountered and a civil penalty is being considered, the Home Office will be able to verify when a check was conducted and who conducted the check.

Digital Right to Work checks will simplify the process for businesses and will reduce the risk posed by physical documents.
