No passport or driving license

Post by OK88 »

Hi, I was just wondering if there's any chance of me being able to do the Christmas job without a passport or driving license? As from what I've seen at least one of those is always mentioned as being needed.

Thanks.

It's possible, but darn difficult.

From the 'Information Checklist':

For proof of identity...
If you do not have one of the above documents then a signed passport photograph of yourself is required, this must be endorsed on the back with the name, signature and job title of a person of standing in the community (Justice of the Peace, Practicing Medical Practitioner, Officer of the Armed Forces, Teacher or University Lecturer, Lawyer - Employed Solicitor, Practicing Barrister or Sitting Judge, Senior Civil servant, Police Officer or Royal Mail Manager) who can confirm your identity. You will also be asked to supply the address and telephone details of this person. A photocopy is not required.
For proof of right to work in the UK...
A full Birth/Adoption certificate issued in the UK and MUST detail one of your parent’s names this must be accompanied with proof of national insurance which MUST be either P45, P60, National Insurance number card, or a letter from a Government agency are acceptable to demonstrate a person’s National Insurance Number. A Government agency can include for example HM Revenue and Customs (formerly Inland Revenue), the Department for Work and Pensions, Jobcentre Plus, the Training and Employment Agency (Northern Ireland) or the Northern Ireland Social Security Agency.
Check with RM, regardless.
