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?

  • A passport has to be valid for consular services to be provided, and that is it's qualifying purpose, beyond that it is not an "identity document", so if used (solely) to identify someone, it's date of expiry is irrelevant. It is for the person accepting it as proof to convince themselves that it (or any other document) identifies the holder, for its valid purpose or simply as a confirmation of who they are.
