Good idea-why don't you do that?
Seriously, you need to preach to the politicians, not to the choir.

Proof of residency-although a passport is a poor choice of documentation for that, IMO. But I also note that it's only one of several forms of documentation Amazon will accept. (At least that's the way I read the letter: "fax us
any of the following" (emphasis added). It's hardly likely that they'd take a person's word for their residence when they're questioning the information they'd already supplied-so asking for documentation makes sense.
