Can I use my expired passport to prove my identity at the Post Office?

Yes, you can use an expired passport if you use the DBS in-branch verification service at a UK Post Office.

It must:
  • Be a UK Passport
  • Have expired within the last 6 months

It must not: 
  • Be an expired overseas passport
  • Have expired more than 6 months ago 

Visit the Post Office branch finder website page, and search branch services for DBS in-branch verification service to find your nearest branch.
