I have worked for VIPKID for 2 months and they did not require a passport. I thought that too, but you can actually just upload your driver's license where it asks for the passport.
Anyway, VIPKID is an awesome company. I am a stay-at-home mom and I missed teaching and making money, so I was so excited to see an ad in my local job pages for VIPKID. We teachers get a $50 referral bonus if we recruit someone so that's why you see teachers involved in the recruiting process. I have been paid and have had no problems with them. The kids are adorable and I feel like I'm a good teacher. I always get 20 hours/week worth of work scheduled and I choose my hours. We have a Facebook group just for teachers and it's great because we connect with each other and ask lots of questions and it's a nice community of teachers. Way better than when I worked in public school teaching Language Arts. I get paid $20/hour! That's actually better pay than public school here in Idaho. What can I say negative about the job? Nothing!

Why would any company require a passport for someone who can literally do the job from their living room in their own country? Obviously requiring a passport would be ridiculous for such employment.
I work for VIPKID and it's the best English teaching job I've ever had! It fits in perfectly with my own full time job schedule. Too bad some people have had bad experiences but hey - one's outlook on life has a lot to do with the way one experiences and perceives such events.
