Why is Taskrabbit asking me to verify my right to work?
UK law requires businesses to confirm that everyone working through their platform has the legal right to work in the United Kingdom. To meet this requirement, Taskrabbit is asking all UK Taskers to complete a short verification process.
This applies to every Tasker using the platform in the UK, whether you are a UK citizen or a non-UK national with permission to work.
What does this mean for me?
You will need to complete a one-time verification step through our partner, Persona. The process depends on your nationality:
Everyone starts with an identity check and selfie.
If you are a UK citizen: Your passport confirms both your identity and your right to work in one step. This takes a few minutes and can be done entirely within the Taskrabbit app.
If you are not a UK citizen: You will need a free share code from the UK government. It takes about 5 minutes to get one at gov.uk/prove-right-to-work. We will guide you through the steps once you click the button below.
When do I need to complete this?
If you are a new Tasker registering on or after October 1, 2026, you will be asked to verify as part of your sign-up process. You will not be able to use the platform until verification is complete.
If you are an existing Tasker, you will receive an email, push notification, or in-app message with a link to start the process. Please complete it as soon as possible. The deadline is October 1st 2026 and accounts that have not been verified by that date may be restricted.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Taskrabbit and Persona handle your information securely. All data is encrypted, and we only collect what is legally required for the verification. We do not store sensitive immigration documents. For non-UK nationals, we never see or store your share code in plain text.
What happens if I do not verify?
Taskers who do not complete verification by the deadline may have their account restricted. This means you will not be able to accept or complete tasks until verification is done. If your account is restricted, you can restore it at any time by completing the process.
Where can I get help?
