Below is the full list of acceptable proof of ID documents. The document you provide must be valid, i.e. expired passports and driving licences cannot be accepted. It must also show your full, current legal name and date of birth. Photographic ID is preferred.
All details must be clearly visible and legible. Please ensure there is no glare or dark shadows and nothing is obscuring any part of the document. Blurry, obscured, too small or too cropped documentation will not be accepted.
If you have changed your name and your ID document has not been updated, we will also require a marriage certificate, divorce certificate or change of name deed poll showing a clear change from the name on your ID documentation to your current name.
Failure to supply a valid proof of ID will result in your screening being rejected.
DO NOT upload password protected documents, we cannot use these and they can corrupt the rest of your application form, resulting in rejection.
Please ensure that only the acceptable below documents are supplied for screening as proof of ID.
- Valid Passport (UK and International) (Photo page showing full MRZ number)
- Valid Driving Licence (UK and International) (full or provisional accepted) (if not used for proof of address)
- Birth Certificate
- Biometric Residence permit – (Must be both sides of the permit)
- Adoption Certificate
Common forms of ID we DO NOT accept are as follows:
- Student ID cards
- SIA licence cards
- Employee ID cards
- UK Identity Cards showing the PASS accreditation logo
- National Identity Card issued outside of the UK
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst a Driving Licence is a valid proof of ID and proof of address, it CANNOT be used for both categories. If you have used your driving licence as your proof of ID you must use a different document for your proof of address.
