PARTLY

As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly get a UK right to work share code.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsThe supplied tool data does not give a price for an immigration adviser or solicitor.

If this goes wrong: you use the wrong GOV.UK route or give your employer an unusable code, which can delay an employment check and may require specialist help.

What to actually do

  1. Hand it to a person

    The route this page recommends

    A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

  2. Use a tool built for this

    Second choice

  3. Do it yourself

    The distant third

    A chat interface, no skill needed, and roughly 15 minutes until you can act on the result.

    How to actually do it

    1. Open the GOV.UK page for proving your right to work and confirm that the service is specifically for employers checking permission to work.
    2. Paste the prompt into a chatbot and ask it to identify the exact official GOV.UK service, without sharing your password, security answers or identity-document numbers.
    3. Open the GOV.UK link supplied by the chatbot in a separate browser tab and compare its page title and purpose with the chatbot's description.
    4. Gather the identity or immigration-status information requested by the official service, using your own documents and account details rather than putting them into the chatbot.
    5. Complete the official GOV.UK sign-in and verification steps yourself, then select the option for proving your right to work and generate the share code.
    6. Check that the resulting confirmation is for right to work, that the code is current in the official service, and send the code and any required date of birth directly to your employer through a trusted channel.
    7. If the official service does not recognise your status, gives an unexpected result or your work permission is disputed, stop and contact UKVI or a regulated UK immigration adviser or solicitor.

    Prompt

    I need to prove my right to work in the UK to an employer. Using only current GOV.UK information, tell me which official service I should open to get a right to work share code. Give the exact GOV.UK page title or link, explain what information I will need without asking me to paste passwords, security answers or identity-document numbers, and list the steps in order. Distinguish a right to work share code from right to rent or right to study services. Do not decide whether I have permission to work, do not guess if the rules are unclear, and tell me when I need to contact UKVI or a regulated UK immigration adviser. I am using this information on 2026-08-13.

    Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

What it gets wrong

  • AI cannot sign in to your UKVI account or generate the share code on your behalf.
  • AI cannot see whether your immigration record is correct or whether a code has been issued successfully.
  • AI cannot protect you from entering sensitive information into an unsafe website or sending the code to the wrong person.
  • AI cannot resolve a mismatch between your documents, immigration status and the Home Office record.
  • AI cannot take responsibility for the effect of using the wrong code or relying on an incorrect explanation.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT get my right to work share code?
No, it cannot sign in to your UKVI account or generate the code. It can point you to the relevant GOV.UK service and explain the steps, but you must complete the official process yourself.
Where do I get a UK right to work share code?
Use the official GOV.UK service for proving your right to work, not a general visa or right to rent service. Check the page title and address before entering any personal information.
What information do I need for a right to work share code?
The official service will tell you what identity or immigration-status information it needs for your record. Do not give a chatbot your password, security answers or identity-document numbers.
What if my right to work share code does not work?
Check that you generated a right to work code and that you gave your employer the code and any other information the official service requires. If your record is missing, inconsistent or disputed, contact UKVI or a regulated UK immigration adviser or solicitor; this is not professional advice.
