British English usage: The passive is formed with the appropriate form of be + past participle. Use it when the action/result is more important than the doer, or when the doer is unknown or obvious.

Cambridge Grammar reference: Cambridge describes the passive system across tenses as be + past participle, with tense carried by be.
