i actually think that's a pretty reasonable process. I'm assuming that the verification process is light...maybe there's a offshore human who goes through a queue and eyeballs each submission? Either way, there's no way that that person has knowledge of what each countries/states IDs look like. So they might err on the side of reasonable caution.

If you're a threatened person, and yet you still need to be on Facebook...then the time it takes to Photoshop something will be insignificant to the apparent benefits you get from Facebook. For the troll? Not so much...getting to be an asshole is not the strongest incentive to jump through the hoops.
