Providing Proof of Eligibility to Work in The UK All UK employers are required to establish the entitlement of new employees and casual workers to take up employment in the UK. Any offer of employment or casual work would therefore be conditional upon the prospective employee providing the necessary documentation to prove entitlement to work in the UK. Anyone offered employment will need to provide original documentation that can be inspected and copied: typically, this documentation is required at interview stage. The required documents are listed below. If you are unable to provide ONE document from List 1, please ensure that you can provide the TWO necessary documents from List 2.
