Scope
Description
As part of the registration process, all internationally educated NMC applicants must complete an in-person identity and document verification check. This ensures that all documents, submitted as electronic copies during the application process, are verified as original and authentic. The primary identity document provided by applicants is their passport; however, we occasionally accept other evidence such as UK/NI driving licenses and travel documents. The Supplier is expected to be able to accommodate a range of identity documents. We must be able to verify passports from any country worldwide.
