... and German got passport cancelled (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undid

'cancelled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and german got passport' is the wordplay.
'and german' becomes 'und' ('and' in German).
'got' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'passport' becomes 'id' (a passport is identification).
'und'+'id'='UNDID'

(Other definitions for undid that I've seen before include "Reversed, destroyed" , "Cancelled, reversed (an action)" , "Disentangled" , "Released" , "Unbuttoned" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
