Government gateway access problems

Options
Hi
Im trying to fill in an R40 for my father, I log into his government gateway account which then says they need to do more security checks and give 3 items they can check - U.K. passport, credit reference file and Northern Ireland driving licence. There is also a link to say you don’t have 2 of these items which takes you precisely nowhere. My father only has one of these - Anyone found a way round this or do I have to resort to printing out form R40?  Thanks I’m anticipation
