Document verification

This course is designed to provide the skills to determine whether documents are genuine or fraudulent and counterfeit.

It is recommended for the staff of employers of British and migrant workers and organisations that rely on identity documents of customers, account holders and claimants.

This area is regulated by The Identity Cards Act 2006 which sets out requirements for an acceptable identity document. Money Laundering Regulations mean it is incumbent on organisations to examine material presented to establish ID.

Plus, a points-based system for migrant workers requires sponsors to be licensed with compliance involving stringent checks before a certificate of sponsorship is issued.

Our training supports organisations and businesses to meet these legislative demands. Focusing on the practicalities of verifying documents, it is packed with tips and advice on security features and methods of checking authenticity.
