Hi, I am currently at the stage of security checks for a post person position. They have asked for a photo to be sent for my photo ID. However since my interview, my hair has gone from brown to blue (I interviewed in Jan, Didn't get the job but stayed on the system, then applied for a new position when advertised in march so no second interview. Hair was dyed in feb, I didn't stupidly dye it between interview and waiting for reply) Will blue be acceptable or will I have to go back natural before I send a pic?

Sorry, any colouring HAS to be Copyrighted Royal Mail Red!!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It will be fine, my ID shows me with long hair, now its Grade 2

Not quite the change you have had but I really don't think it will be a problem.

Thank you. Was just worried if such a bold colour would be allowed as not many places wpuld be ok with it.
