Should I agree passport details with ex?

I haven't put the father of my baby on his birth certificate and baby has my surnam as we split when I was pregnant and I don't trust him/didn't want him to be able to control where I live or be difficult about me taking baby on holiday etc. The father wasn't happy about this decision but hasn't mentioned it since. He did however ask for a copy of it which I said yes to but didn't do and didn't get round to. Baby just got a passport, arrived when ex was hisoting and again he has asked me for a copy 'as it's his first one.' I'm wondering if there is any reason why he shouldn't have a copy? Is there anything dodgy he could do with it? Does it give him any power to do anything else in babys name?

As far as I'm aware he wouldn't have any rights because he's not named on the birth certificate anyway, so having a photo copy of a passport wouldn't mean anything.

However, I'd say yea I'll get you a copy to placate him, and then 'forget'

He doesn't have parental rights and will have to apply to the court to have them which is his right to do.

If he's a dick I suspect he wants the documents to wield some power/control over you.
