Why do I need to bring my passport when coming in to register?
Section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 requires all employers in the UK to make basic document checks on every person they intend to employ. By making these checks, employers can be sure they will not break the law by employing illegal workers. People who have the right to work in this country can prove this swiftly and easily by producing a passport.

Yes. Other combinations of documentation are acceptable. Usually this would be proof of your National Insurance Number and a full UK Birth Certificate. Please call for further information.
