IDENTITY CHECKS

As specified by the SIA, all centres offering licence linked qualifications must confirm the identity of all candidates prior to completion of documentation and the taking of examinations.

This is an essential part of the quality assurance, and must be performed by the invigilator at the examination, regardless of whether the candidate is known to them. The invigilator must also check that a candidate has a UK address and is over the age of eighteen.

Two identity documents from Group A. At least one document must show the candidate’s current address and at least one document must show the candidates date of birth.
OR
One identity document from Group A and two documents from Group B. At least one document must show the candidate’s current address and at least one document must show the candidate’s date of birth.

All documents must be in the candidate’s current name and unless accompanied by a deed poll document that confirms a change of name or valid adoption certificate.

Candidates should be reminded that the name on the candidate response sheet should match the name on the legal documents that will be submitted to the SIA to prevent licence applications from being rejected.

The list of acceptable documents is as follows:

Group A Documents

• Signed valid passport of any nationality (this is the preferred option as it will help speed up the processing of your application)
• Signed UK photo driving licence (both parts of the full or provisional licence are required)
• Valid UK firearms licence with photo
• HM forces identity card (UK)
• UK birth certificate or certified copy issued within 12 months of birth, but not a photocopy
• UK adoption certificate

Group B Documents

• Valid EU photo ID card.
• Signed UK paper driving licence.
• Marriage certificate or Civil Partnership certificate, with translation if not in English.
• Certified copy (not a photocopy) of a UK birth certificate issued more than 12 months after the date of birth.
• Non-UK birth certificate, with translation if not English.
• P45 statement of income for tax purposes on leaving a job issued in the last 12 months.
• P60 annual statement of income for tax purposes issued in the last 12 months.
• Bank or building society statement issued to your current address, less than three months old. More than one statement is acceptable if they are from different banks or building societies.
• Mortgage statement issued in the last 12 months.
• Gas, electric, telephone, water, satellite, cable, mobile phone contract, or utility bill issued to your current address within the last three months. Only one item may fall into this category.

• Pension, endowment or ISA statement issued in the last 12 months
• Certificate of British nationality
• British work permit or visa issued in the last 12 months
• Letter from the HM Revenue, Department of Work and Pensions, Employment Service or Local Authority. You can use more than one letter as long as each is issued by a different Government department or different local auhtorities.
• A credit card statement sent to the candidate’s current address within the last three months. More than one statement is acceptable provided they are from different service providers.
• Court summons issued in the last 12 months.
• Child benefit book issued in the last 12 months.
• A payslip with the candidate’s address and employer’s name and logo on provided it is less than three months old.

Once satisfied, the invigilator will then check that the candidate’s photograph and signature are valid, and will sign and date the relevant section in the candidate response sheet. The invigilator’s signature will be taken as confirmation that these checks have fully and accurately been completed.

Any candidate who has not produced a photo at the time of examination will not be allowed to sit the examination.

Any candidate who is not yet eighteen cannot sit the examination and must begin the course again, including training, once they are old enough.

Candidates should be reminded of the importance of using the same signature and photograph that they intend to use on the SIA Licence application form to prevent licence applications from being rejected.
