Re: Question about SAR
Hi - you DO NOT need to provide photographic ANYTHING and I strongly urge you not to. The DPA is quite explicit in stating that for a Data Controller (your insurer) to provide SAR in line with s.7 they must be satisfied the request came from the Data Subject (you).
This is means all that the Data Subject (you) needs to do is provide enough evidence that they know it's actually you and a signed request quoting ANY historic account or reference number with full name, date of birth & address (at the time & now if changed) - and that's it. If they do not comply then utilise the ICO Complaints process.
It'll help you if they try and fob off a later PPI reclaim which you refer to the FOS as you'd have evidence from ICO that they take the piss, if you're following me.
So to respond, I'd argue what they're requesting is in fact a breach of their Data Protection Responsibilities and that they do not require photographic anything. We do have a template that'd be ideal if edited, Refusal To Accept SAR Request
