Comment: "Thanks everyone and apologies for flouting the democratic process. My feeling is that ‘photocopy’ is too definite and that ‘extract’ sounds too much like a page torn out. I hadn’t thought of ‘excerpt’ originally but I feel this suitably non-committal."

passport extract
I assume this means an extract of the passport showing date and place of birth.

copy of passport
Auszug her is excerpt, it means, only the page(s) with the personal information. Sometimes an official copy needs to be authenticated even. A passport contains a lot of pages which obviously are not necessary to proof who you are. That's how I'd understand it

: although they mean excerpt, I agree that you're far more likely to be asked for "copy of passport" in English
