A passport isn't a requirement for UK citizens who can prove their citizenship in other ways.

British citizens may also demonstrate their permission to work through their full UK birth or adoption certificate which includes the name(s) of at least one of their parents or adoptive parents, together with an official document giving their permanent National Insurance number and their name issued by a Government agency or a previous employer.

I might struggle with that bit, as my birth certificate has a different surname. My parents divorced and my mother remarried and I took my stepfather's surname. Luckily my mother arranged an official change of surname by deed poll, when I was 18.
