    End client wants my passport, cv and police record one month in

    they are crazy, I told them I don't have a police record. Joking aside, this is just a little too much. It's £45 for a police check.

    No its not £25 for Disclosure Scotland

    Passport is required to confirm you can work in the UK

    the only one I would be worried about is why they want your CV....
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

        It's a bit late now, they can see how good I am already. Pointless paperwork.

          You could still be a criminal and/or illegal immigrant.

            Agreed, however have seen plenty given the heave ho if they fail it, even after they have started.

              I was asked of all this documentation as well... but a couple of months before I even started.

              To be fair, this is standard procedure, and all docs are used in compliance checks. So if you are keen for the position, just do it.

                Pointless to you, not to the paper-pushers / bean-counters at ClientCo. Rather standard list of requirements albeit coming a bit late. Likely a tick-box exercise that someone missed to complete in time.

                Ultimately it's up to you to decide if you want to keep the Client happy or not.

                  It's nothing to do with how good you are and it's not pointless paperwork. Agencies are required to provide report certain things and there is clampdown going on at the moment so I'm surprised there hasn't been a raft of these recently.

                    Thought your client was in Belgium?
