Speaking as a long-standing Wise customer who was asked to revalidate ID within the last 12–18 months ....
If Wise are asking you to email your ID, then that request is NOT kosher. Period.
A real email from Wise would invite you to login to the Wise website and upload it.
You do not even have to follow a specific link, because they flag your account so that whenever you login you are instantly prompted to upload ID. Infact the same flag will put a temporary block on your account until such time as you have submitted ID and they have validated it.
So, it follows that if you can independently visit the Wise website, and you can login, and you are NOT prompted for ID, then you have hard confirmation right there that the email you received is not kosher.
IN ADDITION: I would invite you to go to your Wise profile settings and add a custom "email ID" (or whatever they call it) that way you know for sure if a Wise email is kosher because only you and they know the ID that will show at the top of any genuine email they send you.
