Did they request a photocopy of her passport? That's a crazy request if they did. I sure wouldn't send it to them if it were me, but I could see how if your business was being affected it would be something to consider.
Erm.. Do you think you might have missed the point that is crazy? Not 'the passport' (as in, 'why the passport and not something else?').
Asking for any legal 'proof of identity' is totally batshit crazy, period. I'm reasonably sure the GP wanted to express this in a nicer fashion than I do, while you discussed which documents are best to hand over..

It's less crazy than you might think. A US passport is a form of legal, government-issued photo ID. It's a proof of identity.
You might expect a driver's license, but keep in mind that some people may prefer to provide:
- state ID card - state-issued driver's license - US passport
Only one of those is proof that you're allowed to _drive_, but I'm pretty sure you can use any of those to prove identity.
