Currently, EEA and Swiss citizens can demonstrate their right to work with their valid EEA
or Swiss passport or national identity card. Non-EEA family members of EEA or Swiss
citizens, or a person with a derivative right of residence can demonstrate their right to
work in the UK with a valid biometric residence document for as long as they continue to
have those rights under EU law.
If a non-EEA family member of an EEA or Swiss citizen does not have a biometric
residence document, you can request information about their right to work by using the e-
form which can be found at: www.immigrationstatuscheck.service.gov.uk/employers/.
Further information about the Employer Checking Service and the responsibilities of
employers can be found at: www.gov.uk/employee-immigration-employment-status.
