If an individual is genuinely unable to provide any forms of photographic identification, they should be asked to provide all of the following documentary evidence:
- Two documents confirming their current address
- Two forms of non-photographic personal identification
- A passport-sized photograph of themselves which must be countersigned by a person of reputable authority.
All documentary evidence should:
- be issued by a trustworthy and reliable source
- if dated, be valid and current
- have required some form of identity check before being issued to the individual.
Further information on what documents can be provided in this circumstance can be found on the ‘Verification of identity and right to work in the UK’ guidance document within the section ‘Verification of Identity’.
