As part of our pre-employment security checks, if you are invited to interview and are not a current HM Treasury member of staff, we will require a copy of your Proof of Identity (e.g. your passport or driver’s license) confirming proof of both your nationality and your identity, and a copy of your Proof of Address (e.g. a utility bill within the past 3 months) confirming your proof of address. Please note, your passport must be in date and valid, and the utility bill must have been issued within the last six months. We will also need to see your original notification from DWP of your National Insurance number.

Please let us know if your contact details change at any time during the selection process.

Eligibility statement

Individuals appointed to the Treasury will be subject to National Security Vetting. To allow for meaningful checks to be carried out applicants will normally need to have lived in the UK for at least 3 years out of the past 5 years. A lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to security clearance but the Department will need to consider on a case by case basis using all information that can be obtained following a successful application.
