Hmmm, Do They really need that level of detail??

Hi All, I keep getting certain agents asking for some documents like passport, birth certificate, dental records before they will submit my application, as it standard practise...however most seem happy with a CV and my assurance that they will be supplied when needed. Is it me, or does the agent that needs them sound a bit 'odd' I think these particular documents could be used for ID theft?... Or am I being paranoid :confused:

My other half works for a recruitment company - as far as I know, to be compliant with their own processes, the identification/right to work documentation has to be with them before contract signing (not certain by whom, end client or contractor). I'll get further confirmation tonight. Whoever is asking may, of course, have different internal processes - and you could also be paranoid ;) Regards, Stewart

My wife has been working for her company for 8 years now, she has just had to provide proof she is allowed to work in the UK. She doesn't have a current passport (recently expired) so they said birth certificate and National Insurance card. I said they both prove that someone with her maiden name is allowed to work in the UK, but not her. They eventually worked this out too and accepted her expired passport as it was valid when she was employed by them.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Creepy... Why would they want your dental records? Are they planning on faking your death? Because that sounds like a completely different industry.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Or maybe, OP's planning to fake his own death and collect the insurance. This post is his alibi. :suss:

Thank you for referring to her that way instead of using "herself." I don't know why but it annoys me when people refer to their wife here as "herself." :mad: "Herself went to the store..." See, it is terrible. OK, I'm good. Carry on. :^)

I prefer to use "the boss". It avoids all confusion. Note the lack of capitalisation which denotes the fact that Bruce Springsteen and I have never met.

Looks like they want to ensure you're legally able to work in the client's jurisdiction, which seems par for the course. The same thing happens in the US/Canada, although the check is a simple question (to which you have to answer truthfully). However, physical proof is required before the offer of employment is sealed. In most companies, the employee/contractor onboarding process also requires that you agree that a background check will be done on you, and the employment agreement may be terminated based on the result of the check. Many employers will also refuse to hire you if you've ever been convicted of a felony. /ravi

Wouldn't there be a lot of people in the UK who don't have dental records? I may be confused about that.

Just because they don't have teeth doesn't mean they don't have dental records. :-D Perhaps in the UK you carry them with you. :^)

Perhaps, but I think it's more like what chriselst (aka Captain Obvious) suggested.
