I have gotten calls from IT agencies who want, and sometimes near-insist, that you hand over a copy of your drivers license or similar in order to prove that you are not fake - so that you can be submitted for a job.<p>I prob have done it before, but also not done it mostly.<p>Is there some middle ground?<p>I'm convinced they would not be asking for it if they did not need it or _something_ to prove that you are you, but that's pretty hardcore sensitive information, imo.<p>Is there a middle ground?
For all my important documents, SSN, Passport, Driving Licence, Car registration etc, I scan them using a flat bed scanner and store them on my computer.<p>If anyone asks, I send them a jpg/png of whatever (I don't confirm if this is acceptable or not first, let them complain first). Everyone seems to take it without question.<p>Might be worth giving it a shot.
