I followed up with the SOS office for official language. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bKzoOXZU17zdSySAivbwheSYx8VRWnGI/view?usp=drivesdk
It doesn’t include any language about mail in ballot and photo copying an ID.
I sent an email to the AGO office to get a qualified opinion. Because I don’t think you would need to send a copy of your ID.
I’ll wait for a response.
