Right to work website not working?

Hi,

I was granted ILR on 15th October 2019 and have received my BRP.

I've found that I can't seem to get the details validated on the gov Right to Work website?

Does anyone know if there is currently an issue with the website?

Regards
Raza

What is the point of checking on the website when you do NOT have a pending application and when you have already received the physical BRP card, which IS your right to work evidence??

I thought the whole point of the website is to enable you to prove your right to work to an employer using digital means?

It is your BRP Card that is your proof!! An Employer must see the original and keep a copy on file.

Employers are required to check online IF you do not have physical evidence of your visa/ILR.
