You know, I really don't remember filling in as many forms and/or providing anything like as much documentary evidence of who I am and whether I have the right to take up a job in this country when I got my previous post almost 7 years ago.

I guess that's bureaucracy for you - paperwork expands to fill any available space...

I've had yet another request of sight of it, yet they have already seen it at my interview and again when my criminal records check was done. Still, ours is not to reason why, ours is just to photocopy it and send the dozen forms they want.

If the paperwork continues to grow at this weight, if I go for another job in 6 or 7 years time I'm going to need a wheelbarrow for all the forms... ;)

Once upon a time, we only needed our driver's license and social security card OR a passport to show the human resources people for them to put with the I-9 forms proving we were US citizens.

I think I filled in about 8 different forms this weekend for a variety of things and I've just emailed them asking that they let me know if I missed anything out... ;)
