Happy to recommend

We’ve had a really positive experience using TrustID. The platform is straightforward to use, both for our team and for applicants, and the integration into our onboarding process has worked smoothly. It’s helped us streamline right to work checks while maintaining a clear and compliant audit trail. Their support team are also brilliant, Iwona is always on hand if we have any queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

The most trusted UK ID check system.

Working as a HR professional I have used TrustID in organisations from Charities, energy companies, tech through to professional sport.

I can't rate the team and the system more highly, they have made checking right to work quick, efficient and inexpensive.

If you've not signed up for TrustID yet - what are you waiting for?

This app is one of the most infuriating…

This app is one of the most infuriating apps I have ever used. The developers should be ashamed. Why it doesn't recognise a valid uk driving licence and council tax bill is beyond me. I just hope it wasnt tax payers funded.

Sorry to hear that the App didn't work well for you. If you were being asked to complete a Right to Work check, our service wouldn't accept a driving licence - this is because a driving licence isn't one of the eligible documents to prove Right to Work.
If you still need support, our Customer Service team would be very happy to help you further - customerservice@trustid.co.uk or +44 (0)118 228 0939.

Absolute waste of time does not work

Absolute waste of time does not work. Tried for over an hour on my android phone to upload my passport photo. At first used Firefox, but then realised this piece of garbage app does not like Firefox. OK so used Google Chrome then which is what they say it works on, and still not working. Comes up with an error code about low memory on phone which is not the case at all. It's just a worthless app that does not work. Any company using it as their go to checking service should look elsewhere.

FINALLY got it working using a tablet but what a mess around that is. I think it took about 5 times just to try and get your face in the oval, hold a pose and pray whilst that scanned you.

For anyone trying to use this system (especially older people or people with some disabilities) it would be a nightmare for them.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry the process didn’t run smoothly for you - that’s definitely not the experience we want applicants to have. We complete thousands of checks every week, and for the vast majority of users everything works quickly and without issues, so your situation is unusual and something we’ll look into.
We also have a customer support team who can help immediately with problems like this, and we’d always encourage people to get in touch rather than struggle through on their own. Your comments about browser behaviour and the face‑scan flow are useful, and we’ll review them as we continue improving the system. If you would be happy to share more information about your experience, please reply to the Request for Information which we're about to send you.

App not fit for purpose

Took over an hour for the app to work properly, then when the scan of my passport was confirmed as successful on the App, the end user said they did not receive it from Trust id and I now have to do a face to face id check, which is time consuming and not convenient. Trust id App is not fit for purpose from my experience.

15 attempts, no outcome in the end

15 attempts to go through the process, telling me in the end there is ,no document with the photo' (which one ? a proof of the address), reaching selfie - last phase and no verification.
Time for the UK government and so us, taxpayers, to have our personal data stored safely, with just state official body, in the official register, with a simple, quick and official verification of the address, the identity, CRB and citizenship/visa/residency. Like in the rest of the developed world, rather than selling our data and being at mercy of poorly developed technology.

Skilled worker verification Passport

I am deeply disappointed with my experience using TrustID. The system failed to verify my legitimate passport, causing delays in finalising my employment offer. Despite submitting authentication confirmation, the matter remains unresolved.

As a legal migrant who has complied fully with all documentation requirements, this process has been unnecessarily distressing and emotionally draining. Identity verification systems should be reliable and efficient, especially when people’s employment and livelihoods depend on them. I hope TrustID urgently reviews and improves its verification process to prevent others from experiencing similar hardship.

Too many attempts, not good enough

I must be on about 20 attempts now to get my face verified for work.
A joke of an app. YOTI works immediately, but I am guessing TrustID doesn't like that some people have gotten more wrinkles and aged in the 5 years since they got their passport and so fails the check.
Anyway, I am about to tap out and just abandon the work as this is too frustrating, the office of the place I am due to work is miles and miles away and I literally cannot afford train fare to faff about to show them my passport in person.
JOKE, avoid if humanly possible, it WILL lose you work

Great product and experience

The platform is easy to use and the checks are user friendly and only take a couple of minute to complete. Responses are clear and well laid out.
The reporting options are excellent and give a great overview of usage and response rates.
