This is the info provided by ID.me.

Verifying if you live outside of the U.S. and have an SSN (https://help.id.me/hc/en-us/articles/4415907236375-Verifying-if-you-live-outside-of-the-U-S-and-have-an-SSN)

To verify your identity you will need the following:

Social Security number
Two primary documents (e.g. passport, passport card, National ID card, government-issued ID with your photo) or
One primary and at least one secondary document (e.g. utility bill, pay stub, medical bill, bank statement, W-2 form)

You may also need to provide:

Proof of a non-U.S. address
Legal name change documentation

Verifying with a non-U.S. passport (https://help.id.me/hc/en-us/articles/26952364097559-Verifying-with-a-non-U-S-passport)

What you’ll need:

Your valid (unexpired), non-U.S passport that clearly shows your passport ID number
An approved “address document” that shows the same international address that you will enter during verification. Commonly-used, eligible documents include bank statements, electric bills, valid and unexpired driver’s licenses, pay stubs, etc.
