6. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Candidates may be required to use 2FA for secure access to the Services, involving secondary authentication methods like a code sent to their registered contact details.

7. eVisa Verification and Use of OTP

As part of the eVisa verification process, Candidates may be required to use a One-Time Password (OTP) sent by the UK government. This OTP is necessary to access and obtain the share code used for verifying the right-to-work status as mandated by UK immigration law. By using the Services, Candidates consent to:

  • Use of Government-Sent OTP: The OTP sent to your mobile number will be used to facilitate the eVisa verification process.

  • Consent to data processing as outlined in this policy, including the use of OTPs and other verification methods.

10. Disclaimer for Right to Work Check Using Birth Certificate

When conducting a Right to Work check for British citizens using a birth certificate as proof of identity, additional supporting documentation, such as an official document issued by a government authority (e.g., a Passport or Driving license), may be required to verify the candidate's identity and right to work. Employers may also need to inspect the original birth certificate to ensure its authenticity.

11. Service Cost Statement

There is no fee or money charged to candidates for using the right-to-work check service. The cost of this service is borne by the employer initiating the verification process.

12. Indemnity and Limitation of Liability
