Account audited asking for proof of address

If you are thinking of purchasing miles_ think about it-again.
I joined alaska air a few mths ago and purchased miles during the last buy up I then transferred 25k to the account so i could redeem a first class award.
I went to book it and the website said to call alaska. I called and got customer service and they said they want a proof of address with drivers licence.
I do not have a current DL
I offered a passport ( which obviously has a date of birth)
they refused
I feel very unsafe in continuing this account
I checked all the details they are all perfectly correct

they are now sending the pts and supposedly the money is being returned for the purchased miles.
so I will be paying the currency conversion fees twice ,as well they said they will not give me extra.
has anyone else had this problem/ if not do a test booking and make sure your accounts are not under audit.
