I recently got a notification that my passport data was leaked from a major exchange I used years ago. It completely pushed me to stop using platforms that demand full verification. I found this guide https://evedex.com/en/blog/how-to-buy-crypto-without-kyc/ that explains how to purchase coins anonymously. It covers P2P and decentralized ramps really well. You should definitely check it out if you want to keep your documents safe.
