Putting photos of my ID documents online just seems like an incredibly bad move for my security and privacy.

The only time I'd even consider sharing photos of my ID documents over the internet is if I'm sharing them with an organisation I have a multi-year high-trust relationship with (like my e-mail provider of 20 years). And even then, I'd prefer not to if I can avoid it.

Government agencies only.
While I trust my Government to issue me a passport (what else can I do), I can't say I trust all their agencies to securely store an image of it.
