    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:

        I could tell you, but I'll need your bank account number first. Edit: I'm too slow today!

          Copy the certificate, proving you have one, and cross out any details that can be used to identify you beyond your first/last name.

              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.

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

                          Dental records should confirm that. :laugh:

                              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.

                                        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:

                                        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

                                          Creepy... Why would they want your dental records? Are they planning on faking your death? Because that sounds like a completely different industry.
