I am suspicious of the email below with a return address ending amazon.uk (and not .com or .co.uk) which does not exist as a website.

Also the sender don’t seem to address us buy our business name, or for which Marketplace or give our account code.

Also don’t understand why such a requirements does not appear in our Support Cases section.

Perhaps someone could assist in proving the validity of this requirement before I send a copy of my passport off.

They ask for a driving licence but a UK licence does not include all the info require so why ask for this?

Thanks

PS Also I have no idea what POC stands for.
