Powers relating to verification of identity or status
The territorial extent of section 55 is UK-wide. Whilst the Right to Work Scheme operates UK-wide, the power to issue a civil penalty for a breach of the Right to Rent Scheme is currently in force in England only. Orders prescribing requirements under Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Immigration Act 2014 will only have a practical effect in England, until such time as the Right to Rent Scheme is rolled out to other areas of the UK.
