It's obviously contributing more data with a high probability of being all signal and zero noise. Some government IDs even include social security #s, but you're adding a photograph.

In the sense of confirming the data, it seems likely to at least attest to the identity being a genuine one associated with that data. Rather than something like a burner phone setup with a bunch of random stuff. Of course people can also have a fake photo ID, but it seems unlikely someone using a totally fabricated existence would be querying for this information and exposing them potentially to closer scrutiny.
