Retained right of residence. Should I submit my passport?

[BOYZ2MEN]

Hello everyone, I needed urgent help. I am a non EU national. I have lived in the UK with my EEA national wife for more than a year and we were married for more than 3 years. Our divorce has been finalize and I received the decree absolute few days ago. My first question is, how soon can I apply for RoR?

Secondly, I want to make an application for RoR as soon possible, but I will need my passport for interview for Bsc(hons) in Nursing, NHS bursary application and school registration. All these processes will last between next week and late August. Can I make an application for RoR without passport? Or do you guys think they will accept my application without my passport included?
