Using an expired passport as proof of ID and right to work

Daniel

Hi all, 

Does anyone have a view on whether an expired passport (in this case about six weeks expired) is still valid as a form of ID/RTW? Clearly, the person (ok, I admit it, it's me!) wouldn't be able to travel with it, but they are still the same person they were when the passport expired and they don't stop being a UK citizen on the expiry date. Ok, they (I) should get their passport renewed, but I still think it's a valid ID document. Any thoughts please?

  • As this is asking for a view, not what the current practice is, I share my view. I don't think it should be accepted, as technically an individual could have obtained a new citizenship from another country where multiple citizenship is not allowed. The problem is that obviously the "in-date" passport wouldn't necessarily detect this issue...and even renewal might be possible if they are not "busted"? I used to think like pretty much everyone here, but I actually came across with someone in such situation and they were dismissed immediately.
