Philip,
I have just been asked to send an electronic pic of my passport photo page (in support of becoming EE); seems much more reasonable than sending actual passport through post!

Subject: Right to work checks
At my university there has been a recent tightening of the 'right to work' checks when appointing a new EE. From now on we are required to check EE passports *before* the external is appointed which requires them to send their original passport to HR by registered mail. As a consequence, we can no longer allow an External Examiner to bring their passport (or other approved documentation) to us at the briefing session or an assessment board. If individuals are reluctant to send their ID through the post we can no longer complete their appointment without it.
Do other universities have the same policy? Is this now common practice? And might one expect an impact on recruitment?
Kind regards and happy summer.
Philip
