Weird. Every job I've had has asked for my passport (UK) or work permit (US).

I'm in the US, and every employer has asked me for proof that I can legally work in the US. But none of the proof I provide involves biometric data (unless you count the photo on my driver's license as "biometric data"). But I'm a citizen, and I could easily imagine that the requirements might be more strict for noncitizens.
