We assume the birth certificate and benefits letter were both issued in the UK (so the prospective tenant is a UK citizen) and that the benefits letter was issued within the last 3 months. On those assumptions, that is acceptable for right to rent to establish they are a UK citizen and have a permanent right to rent.
Please see here for full details on right to rent checks.
Yes the right to rent is satisfactory but in the absence of a photo ID how do I know they are who they say they are?
For right to rent purposes, you’ve done all that’s needed.
If you wish to go further from a personal prospective (and we agree how do you know they are who they say) then you can insist on photo ID. But, if they haven’t got one, that will be a personal choice of yours whether to carry on or refuse a tenancy.
