Using Digital Identity, do I still need to physically check my candidate’s identity documents?

No, when using Digital Identity, physically checking identity documents is no longer needed. You must, however, still use an accredited Identity Service Provider (IDSP). This facility is approved by the Government and uses biometric facial matching to confirm that your candidate is using their own document and not one belonging to someone else.

The only responsibility of the employer is to confirm that the person who turns up to work matches the identity of the person verified during the Right to Work check.
