Examples

Below is an example of documents that we can and cannot accept as proof of Right to Work in the UK.

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.
