Eligibility question

Hi , please don't laugh at this one (I am new at this), I am looking like having to declare myself bankrupt, and on one of the (approximately 50!) websites I have looked at today I saw some mention that in order to be eligible one must have a UK passport. I do know that my passport is about to expire and I cannot afford to renew it, does anybody know whether I must be in possession of an in-date passport when I file, or will something else do?

    if your a UK resident and lived within the courts area your filing bankruptcy at for 6mnths or more you dont need ANY I.D at all...so whoever said about the passport is sadly wrong

    I looked at a similar amount of sites before I went BR, sadly finding this one only six hours after I filed.

    Wish I'd found it earlier....it's the only one you'll ever need.
