HMRC - Cannot confirm my identity, any solutions?

Hi all
I recently signed up as self employed with HMRC. But I can't sign in or do my tax returns as my identity cannot be confirmed. I believe it's because my birth certificate is incorrect but I've never had a problem with it until now (I'm 30).
I really don't want to spend money to change my birth certificate and passport. Again, I've never had a problem until now, as my HMRC/NI name clashes with what's on my birth certificate/passport (two of my surnames are listed as my middle name; that's it. No spelling issues). It's the same issue with my provisional licence so I cannot use that too.
Is there no other way to get signed in to do my tax returns before it's too late? Can't HMRC change my name on their end to match my passport/birth certificate? They discouraged me from doing so but it seems like that might be quicker/easier to do?!

How do you know your Birth Certificate is incorrect? And if it is incorrect, why did you apply for a passport with the incorrect details?The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
