DBS. Expired passport.

[FuzzBallMushroomP]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use an expired passport for a DBS check?
I don't have a driving licence either.
I do have my birth certificate but just a small one.
My marriage certificate is useless since it's from a non eu country.
Gah! I should just give up shouldn't I?!

Pretty sure it needs to be current.

Have you looked at the option 2 and 3 routes?

I have. I think it depends on whether my birth certificate is acceptable or not. It's only small so I don't know if it's a full one.

Can you apply for a full birth certificate? It’s quite easy.

It has to be current. However the list does not specify a full birth certificate.

I'm looking now at ordering the full one, just to make my life a bit easier.
I'm hoping full birth cert, bank statement and utility bill will be enough.

Have you had a previous DBS?
I got one in March with a current passport and drivers licence.
I needed a new one in September (new place) but my passport had expired in that time. Presented expired with drivers licence and previous DBS. Came thru in under 2 weeks - not bad

I’ve only got a short form birth certificate and that was fine for my DBS check. I did have a valid passport though...

A birth certificate issued at birth is okay as a Group 1 document, but a new full birth certificate would only be a Group 2 document.

I don’t have a passport or a drivers licence, and it was fine

You need a photo ID

2 years ago (when I did these) route 1 you COULD use an expired passport for the photo ID and birth certificate and utility bill as the other ID

Oops just checked and not the case anymore

It's the one issued at birth but doesn't say much .
Do you mind me asking what you used Altogether ?
