We don't tend to ask for ID "proofs" as it is our practise to send the relevant information to the individual at the address we have on our records. If someone wants to pay us £10 for the privilege of having information sent to an address they don't live at, then that has to be a matter for them!
If an applicant seeks to change the address we have on our records, then we will use other ways to authenticate them before making the relevant changes.

I don't mean this to be a banal answer. I fear it may sound it, for which I apologise.
The answer is really a question: "If you were requesting this information, what documents of proof would you expect to be asked for in order to prove that you were entitled to receive the information? How would you wish for your own identity to be protected?"
I suspect you will come down to items like a letter from a utility (but not mobile phone) addressed to you, a copy of a driving licence at the same address, etc.

Subject: [data-protection] SAR ID Verification
Hi everyone.
If someone makes a subject access request to you, what verification documents do you ask for to identify the data subject. If you ask for official documents (i.e. passport/driving licence etc) do you accept photocopies being submitted or only the original? Or do you just accept the name and address on the letter?
Many Thanks
Catherine
