How to start

  1. Sign up at app.vouchsafe.id (itโ€™s free!)

  2. Go to Flows > Create a new flow, and choose the Right to rent template.

  3. Go to Verifications > New verification

  4. Select the "Right to rent" flow from the drop down send invite by email.

Vouchsafe will perform steps that would normally have to be done in person:

  • collecting the tenant's passport

  • verify that the passport is real

  • make sure it belongs to the tenant

You can then review the results from the Verifications tab, and optionally download a PDF version for your own records.

Good to know

  • You don't need to chase applicants. Vouchsafe sends automatic daily reminders until the verification times out (7 days by default)

  • The check meets medium confidence in government GPG45 terms

  • You can optionally enable extra checks, like our online footprint check, for extra confidence

  • You can get notified by email when an applicant completes their check

โœ… Important: Always check the latest government guidance for right to rent checks to make sure you meet your legal obligations.
