I think a passport which has expired should still be valid as an identification document but may not be used for travelling...my thots.
This is true.
Technically an expired passport is still a valid ID. For instance you can enter Kenya on an expired passport, although you can't leave on it.
And a passport is not the only document used for travel or identification. In some countries a birth certificate is equally form of ID.
