You don’t give the majority of those details to the Post Office (or other providers), they ask you questions about the data they already hold on you. The passport and driving licence information is checked via APIs provided from the government to accredited companies, and the system is designed such that that data isn’t stored by the identity providers (beyond a flag to say that that form of identity has been verified).
