Documentation & Pre-employment Checks

IDVT is a form of technology operated for the purpose of verifying the identity of a person, whereby a digital copy of a physical document relating to that person is produced for verification of the document's validity, and whether that person is the rightful holder of the document. To use this service, you must have a valid in date British or Irish passport (including passport cards) or share code and a Biometric passport that meets the ICAO specifications for e-passports, or EU/EEA biometric ID Cards that follow EC 2252/2004.
