Copy of Passport

[Drewster]

They actually need to see the original not a photocopy as obviously you could fabricate a copy. Strangely lots of agents aren't aware of that though a few are and will arrange to meet up with you to do so.

A few years ago a Pimp insisted that this was the case ie They HAD to see the original Passport.

I was happy to oblige -
I told them that they could make an appointment to come to my registered business address between the hours of 9:00am to 17:00 within the next two working days - where I would supply my passport for validation.
I also added that I would expect them to bring sufficient information and documentation to prove they were who they claimed to be before I would hand over the passport and that if they needed any copies etc I would happily provide equipment etc but that I would charge for their use..... or they could make do with a scanned copy foc.

They asked for a copy by return..... I will confess that this was in the "good times" and I had no fear of them telling me where to get off. I am not sure I would repeat it today!
