Per my credit monitoring, equifax updated my address from my old one to the one I've been in 13 yrs, which triggered an alert. I tried calling equifax and transunion, but it won't accept my dl pic and i couldn't move forward w the selfie. They're mailing me a paper form. I just want to make sure they have my proper address. I know this is done for my protection. I'm not comfortable mailing my ss card and dl thru the mail. The recording said something about a breach at equifax. I'm at a loss at this point

I can’t imagine any legitimate reason for mailing the ss card or license.
