  With the UK Government providing more online services, you can prove your right to work or right to rent via the official portal.  Of course, you can also show your passport and UK visa but some employers may wish to verify that.  If you have a Biometric Residence Permit (visa card),  use this link to share your details with your employer.  You have to authorise it first (i.e. share), otherwise no one can access your details, quite rightly, due to confidentiality. The process generates a code, which you can pass on to the employers.  If you are an employer,  use this link to verify a job applicant’s status in the UK  after they have shared a code with you.
