Agent wants copy of passport to submit application

Other forms of ID.

Go to be photo ID. Not sure what other than passport or driver licence card would qualify if an individual had neither and had no desire to obtain either just for this purpose.

If only the government had gone through with identity cards for everyone.

Funny coincidence but I've just had an agent requesting a scanned copy of the photo page (yeah ok with that) and scan of the front cover??? WTF erm, OK then.

This is fairly normal, the company i worked for wanted front, back, inside and photo. Not the first time that was done either.

I think it is paranoia and as you said earlier in the thread, they have probably been scammed before...

I'm a rebel. I scanned the front of my partners passport and my photo page on the same scan. Want to see if the agent questions how I have the photo page and front cover in the same page... but they won't

My contract required a copy of passport too. Photocopy was fine if signed by a professional (teacher, doctor, etc). Good thing having a teacher friend

Get a doctor friend as well plus a lawyer and an accountant. They all come in useful if you need various forms certified.

I was offered a role at a retail bank and was asked to take my passport to one of their branches for a perm employee to take a copy and certify it.

I also had to do this once for a mortgage application with one of the large UK banks.
