Summary
Konfir can usually verify your history even if you were self-employed, unemployed, or had breaks - but some cases your verifier may need extra documents.
Self-employed / freelancers
Verified via income payments into your bank account or via your HMRC self-assessment record.
Cash-in-hand income cannot be verified digitally.
Unemployed / breaks
Gaps in employment are normal and will show in your verification.
Your verifier may ask you to explain the reason (e.g. study, travel, caring).
Agency or umbrella workers
Konfir usually shows the organisation that paid you (agency or umbrella), not the end client.
What if something can’t be verified?
Your verifier may request documents for those periods.
Having gaps or unverified roles does not mean your verification has “failed.”
