proof of eligble to work in the uk

bigmacman

do they class a driving lisence plus the paper part as proof of eligible to work in the uk.
i have a passport but cant find it and my birth certificate is only the small 1 and they say it has to be a full one.
any help would be brilliant

Your driving licence is only proof that you are allowed to drive a car in the UK and is some proof that you are who you say you are.

You don't have to have the right to work in the UK to qualify for a driving licence, so it is no proof of eligibility to work.

The letters from the jobcentre that tell you what are entitled to claim can be used as well.

Does your Driving license give your place as birth as the UK?

If you are a British person you are generally stuck with providing the Passport OR Full Britosh Birth Certificate plus documents NI from Government body or ex employer.

You can obtain a full length birth certificate from the registry office for about £8. The above link is what the Home Office say is acceptable - the HO page is harder to navigate and find it on, but that's the list they use anyway.

A Driving License does not appear on the list of acceptable documents i'm afraid.
