request from Agency Handling renewal

[frazclay]

Hi all

Apologies if this is in the wrong catagory

I have been in a contract for six months
this contract was renewed after 3.

It is up for renewal again and this time the agent handling it (the same one all along)
has requested a number of 'compulsory documents'

/********/

In addition ******** require the following Compulsory Documentation:



VAT Certificate (if appropriate)
Passport or other relevant documentation such as residence permit, registration certificate or Immigration Status Document [showing right of abode / right to work in the UK where applicable] (please do not fax copy of Passport)
Proof of Residence [e.g. utility bill showing residential address, dated within the last 3 months]
2 Referees (Form 4)


Please attach the above Compulsory Documentation to an email in electronic form (scanned, photographed, faxed or posted). Upon compliance with the Compulsory Documentation, Agreements in hard copy will be posted out to you for signing.

/************/

My question is this ... Why?

they have been receiving invoices with Vat number on them for six months
and I am an employee of my company so why the other documentation ?

Is this usual ?

thanks in advance

Is it the agency or client asking? Or agency pretending client is asking?

Send a copy of the VAT certificate. It's no bother for you and it's not worth arguing about.

Passport, utility bill and references: tell them to sod off. Use something like the below in place of a passport

I hereby confirm that XLimited, a company registered in England, No.
00000000, warrants that all employees of X Limited together with any
individuals supplied by the company for work in the United Kingdom are either
British citizens or have the right to live and work in the United Kingdom. I further
confirm that all necessary checks required under United Kingdom law in this
regard have been undertaken.

X Limited indemnifies organisations that use the services of X
Limited against any costs arising as a result of any failure by X Limited
in carrying out such checks on the eligibility of individuals so supplied

And name & shame too

This has been brought up in a number of previous threads, try a search on passport.

I was under the impression that it was illegal to make a copy of a passport for any reason, this might be worth clarifying.
