British citizen but with Zimbabwean birth certificate

Ive gotten to the stage on my srudent financce application where it requires identification. My passport expired 2 years ago and I understand that you can use your birth certificate instead but it doesnt specify whether if it has to be a british birth certificate or not. I have a Zimbabwean birth certificate so I was wondering can I still send that or should I just get my passport renewed? Any help will be much appreciated
Get it renewed. Your birth certificate just says you were born in zimbabwe, right?
I second getting it renewed.

Student finance might accept other forms of ID. Phone them and ask.
