And what leverage do they have over (eg) the UK Passport Agency to
verify that it's genuine?

Of course they do. And such things have never leaked out afterwards.
But in any case, your identity in the "real world" is irrelevant, what's
been asked about is information pertaining to a Twitter account persona,
which can by definition be provided to that Twitter account holder,
irrespective of who they actually are.
