What ID should I give a modeling agency on behalf on my child?

Asked by rowenaz (2436points) March 6th, 2009

An “talent” company approached us at the mall, and asked our daughter to come interview and submit photos for modeling jobs. I smell scam, but am normally a paranoid person. We are going to the place anyway, myself, her father, and her. They asked both parents to come with 2 forms of ID, one of which should be a photo, and the other could be a credit card. I’m worried about identity theft. I know that you shouldn’t pay up front for anything, because a manager would get a percentage of her earnings, and that we don’t need to pay for portfolios, hair stylists, etc., but what about this ID thing?

When you apply for a job you always have to supply ID. Am I doing the right thing? What ID should I show?
