Right-to-Work Record Redaction with anonym.plus

Clear identity data from retained right-to-work evidence before it is shared.

Right-to-work record redaction is the removal of identity data from retained verification evidence under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. The Act underpins checks that confirm lawful UK work. anonym.plus marks names, document numbers, and share-code references on your device, so the evidence stays clear while the data goes.

When this applies

Retained proof ties a worker's name to a passport number and an online share code. You must shield those before a copy reaches a manager or a shared drive.

How anonym.plus handles it

  1. Open the evidence in anonym.plus on your device.
  2. Local OCR reads a scanned page.
  3. The tool flags names, document numbers, and the share code.
  4. Confirm each flag and keep the status wording.
  5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
  6. Save the clean copy locally.

Limitations & cautions

The statutory excuse rests on the retained evidence, so keep the original on file. Redact a shared copy, not your evidence of record. The tool flags items; you decide what the Act requires you to retain.

Frequently asked questions

Can I redact stored right-to-work evidence?

You can redact a shared copy. Keep the source on file, since the 2006 Act expects retained proof of the original check.

Does it flag the share code?

Yes. The online share code and document numbers are flagged with the worker's name, so you can mask what you share.

Is the file uploaded?

No. The desktop app is fully offline, so it stays on your machine.
