Registering Foreign Birth - Mother's ID Issue

[A86yfl]

Hello,

I have all the bits I need to submit my application. However my mother's ID both passport and driver's license is 10 years expired. My mum was diagnosed with Frontal Lobe Dementia in her early 50s, so we never looked at renewing either (especially licence as she wouldn't be able to drive). Has anyone run into this issue before? I was going to submit both pieces of ID with a cover letter to explain the situation and provide her diagnosis document as proof of her dementia. But just wondered if anyone had any advice.

Thanks

I know this is a bit late, but I had a similar situation with my father. I had the social worker at the nursing home write a letter saying why he would not have his passport renewed, and I submitted a witnessed copy of an old passport I had along with a cover letter. I called the FBR, and this is what they told me to do.
