This is not true. I provided them with my social, which is another form of id here, my expired passport, my drivers license, they just want me to provide an ACTIVE [passport. Thats the only thing they are accepting.
I don't get it. Why aren't you trying to renew/reissue your passport? It would help solve this mess and could help with other matters too which is why multiple birds would be taken down with a single stone.
It usually takes around a month or something to acquire a new passport in most countries. Can you clarify?
I do not think that it is valid to ask to renew your passport just to gamble at some casino. I have an expired passport as well, back in the day maybe nearly 10 years ago I had to go to another nation and I needed passport back then to be able to do that, and then I did it and came back to my nation and ever since then I never had a chance to leave for another nation. I do not think that I will ever be able to go to another nation, not anytime soon at least.
Financially it is near impossible for me to go to another nation these days, so why would I want to renew my passport. That is something that only works for you if you end up going to another nation, if you are going to stay within your own nation, why get a new one? And if he already shared his everything, it should have been accepted.
