Like Kate - I was required to send a passport and undertake a conference call after it’s receipt (and that was for a validation event).
I was not prepared to do that in the height of summer with overseas trips approaching but the institution was prepared to accept an expired passport ( not over 5 years since expiring if I recall) which I was much more relaxed about.
However in response to Philip’s question, yes I would expect an impact on recruitment. I for one am not prepared to forward my passport (following a previous unfortunate experience) but have been prepared to accommodate reasonable alternatives (birth certificates, documents showing NI numbers and now expired passports).
I am perhaps surprised that there has not been any sort of concerted collective protest / action by Academics to encourage universities to standardise procedures at the reasonable (rather than draconian) end of the scale. UCU ?
