}How it Works
Our API streamlines the UK right to work, right to rent and immigration share code verification process. By submitting a government-issued share code, employers, landlords, agencies and service providers can instantly verify an individual's right to work or rent status.
The API checks the share code against the official UK government database and provides detailed information such as the individual's work conditions, permission expiry date, and more. For example, as shown in the JSON, the API response includes whether the individual's application is accepted, any work restrictions, and the validity period of their immigration, working or rental rights.
This eliminates manual verification, saving time and ensuring accuracy when validating an individual’s right to work, right to rent, or immigration status in the UK. Whether it's a temporary worker, a student, or someone on a visa, our API provides a simple, efficient way to confirm immigration, working and rental eligibility.

I created this tool to help businesses and agencies to streamline and secure their immigration, right to work and right to rent checking processes. Share Codes offer an efficient method for verifying an individual's right to work and rent in the UK, and I aimed to enhance this process by creating a seamless, automated solution that benefits all parties. I am always open to assisting businesses, and freelance developers to simplify and secure their processes, feel free to reach out to us via this form if you'd like to find out more about the API.
