An IDSP uses Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) to digitally verify a valid British or Irish passport (or Irish Passport card) on behalf of the employer as part of the right to work check.
The IDSP will obtain evidence of the prospective employee’s identity, check that it is valid and that it belongs to the person who is claiming it.
This service can only be used for British and Irish citizens and still requires the employer to satisfy themselves that the photo and biometric information on the passport matches the individual in question and to retain a record of the check.
