Help with UK passport?

UK: Can you find out your passport issue and expiry dates if you have the passport number? PLEASE HELP, URGENT?

• I need my details for student loan application which needs to be in by the end of the month. I've lost my passport though. But I do have the passport number, my personal ID number, my national insurance number, and my bank details, I also have ID in the form of a driving license. Is there anyway I could find out my issue and expiry dates with this information????

• Answer:

  If you've lost your passport it doesn't matter what the dates are. You'll have to apply for a new one. You cannot enter the details of a passport you no longer have and should report it as lost so it cannot be used by anyone else. You are leaving yourself wide open to Identity theft and fraud by nor reporting it as lost or stolen. Are you British? If so, you can produce your birth certificate as proof of identity instead of your passport. If you do this you must complete this form and get someone who is of standing in the community and who has known you for at lest two years to countersign it. http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@educ/documents/digitalasset/dg_183325.pdf
