I've never heard of a company asking for a passport original or copy. But
I could understand the requirement if travel was part of the job
description. The company wouldn't want to hire someone who couldn't
travel. The only time anyone has been interested in my degree is when I
needed to bring it with me to get through US customs.
Why do they need the passport? Why do they need originals? Why can't a
representative just see the originals and certify copies?
If it isn't common practice in your area, the company should have a clear
and precise justification for the requirement.
If it does come down to leaving originals, make sure to leave with a
receipt from the company saying what they have, the reason they have it,
and the time frame they want to keep it for.
