Looks like they want to ensure you're legally able to work in the client's jurisdiction, which seems par for the course.

The same thing happens in the US/Canada, although the check is a simple question (to which you have to answer truthfully).  However, physical proof is required before the offer of employment is sealed.  In most companies, the employee/contractor onboarding process also requires that you agree that a background check will be done on you, and the employment agreement may be terminated based on the result of the check.  Many employers will also refuse to hire you if you've ever been convicted of a felony.
