To apply for a TFN you do need one primary identity document (https://identityservice.auspost.com.au/ato/requirements/identityDocs), like a passport or a birth certificate. Without one of those the application won't be accepted, sorry! For the myGovID application (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Tax-file-number/Apply-for-a-TFN/Australian-citizens-with-an-Australian-passport---TFN-application/) it will accept passports that are up to 3 years expired, so if the passport is less than 3 years expired it can still be used.
