Thanks BIS.
On the subject of whether the passport has to be " current ".....there are some old websites that say an expired passport can only be used for " secondary identifcation ". But this is not the case if you need to attend the Jobcentre and show your ID as according to this new Jobcentre link only the Council Tax statement has to be current but not the passport ( in fact a passport from any country in the world will do as photo evidence )
There is a further link to it from BIS's webpage.

Not so. I have migrated today and when entering expired passport date was refused:
"Passport expiry date must be at least today or in the future".
It's so ridiculous, but there it is.

Hi Pat753
We have agreed that an expired passport cannot be used for online ID verification but it can be used for face to face ID verification as long as the photo is recognisable.
