Probably more likely that they want to run you through something like WorldCheck https://risk.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/world-check-know-your-customer/about-world-check.html or similar. A fair few of those systems use name, address and passport number as the input.
I'm pretty sure they had my passport number in the past. Never asked for HR to get involved though.
Nothing to do with Brexit. CRB checks have always had to include verification of identity and address, it’s only recently that this has been audited. HR probably do it now because line managers couldn’t be arsed.
