Uploading several IDs at once (optional)
IDs aren't required, but a passport or driving licence for each person can help avoid bank spot-check delays. Company contractors never need one.
- Photograph or scan each ID. Save it as JPEG, PNG or PDF, up to 5 MB each.
- Name each file after the person, exactly as they appear on your Staff page:Sarah Mitchell.jpg · harris-tom-passport.pdf
- Put them all in one folder. You can select them together, drag them in, or zip the folder and upload the single .zip (up to 100 files).
- Go to Staff, press Add IDs, then open Upload several IDs at once and choose your files.
- Check the preview: each file shows who it has been matched to. Pick the right person for anything marked needs choosing, then press Confirm. Nothing is saved until you do.
