Examples

The following examples are of documents that we can and cannot accept as proof of Right to Work in the UK.

Residence Permit

If you are providing us with your Residence Permit – we require a clear photograph or scanned version of both the front and the back. The example above is what we require. Make sure when you send us your Residence Permit that we can see all 4 corners of both the front and the back.

We cannot accept versions of your Residence Permit if they look like the above examples. The example on the left is not acceptable because it does not show the 4 corners of the permit. The example on the right is not acceptable because it doesn’t show us the 4 corners of the back of the permit, and it is burry (poor quality).

Passport

Here are 2 examples of passports. The example on the left is perfect because we can see the 4 corners of the identification page, and the information is easy to read (the file is high quality). The example on the right is a bad example and cannot be accepted by Umbrella Company UK. We cannot see each of the 4 corners of the passport identification page.
