Scan in a passport or your driving licence?

Some companies require proof of address which requires a recent utility
bill or similar. Passports don't have addresses and driving licences can
be out of date by several years.

Which is Illegal and carries a £1000 penalty.

only if you actually want to use it as a driving licence

If you're just using it as ID. there's no fine for not updating your
address - though obviously using it to validate a fraudulent address would
be a different form of illegal
