Different employers and regulated occupations may request different records. Do not send sensitive identity documents until you have verified the employer and understand why they are required.
Application essentials
- Current CV or résumé
- Tailored cover letter, when requested
- Reliable phone number and professional email address
- Contact details for two or three suitable references
- Copies of qualifications, licences and certificates listed on your CV
Identity and right-to-work records
For government employment-service registration, official guidance has referenced a valid passport photo page and proof of immigration or local status. Depending on your circumstances, employers or agencies may ask for:
- Valid passport or other accepted photo identification
- Turks and Caicos Islander Status Card, if applicable
- Permanent Resident Certificate, if applicable
- Naturalisation certificate, residence permit, freelance permit or another document showing your legal status, where applicable
Role-specific records
- Driver’s licence for driving-related positions
- Police record for roles or employers that require one
- Health, food-handler or medical clearance where required
- Professional registration for regulated occupations
- Portfolio or work samples for creative and technical roles
- Trade, safety or equipment-operation certifications
If you recently left a job
Keep a copy of your resignation, termination or redundancy letter and your former employer’s contact information. The Employment Services Department’s published registration guidance has listed a resignation or termination letter among documents requested from jobseekers in relevant circumstances.
Prepare safely
- Scan documents clearly and label files with useful names.
- Keep originals secure and share copies only when necessary.
- Remove unrelated sensitive information where appropriate.
- Confirm that dates, names and qualifications match your CV.
- Ask the employer how your personal information will be stored.
