I did mine a few weeks ago with a similar scenario.
Its just been rejected as proof of identity by another govt agency because it is 'unclear'. I opted for the 'digital passport photo we hold on record' option rather than mail in a photo.
Now I have to reapply for my DL
My feedback thread is here.
This thread might be worth making a 'sticky'.

Mine has two years left to run before I need to renew it, but I always keep the old one and say I've lost it as so many get returned with the motorcycle entitlement removed, forcing you to retake your test.
I've done this 3 time sin the last 2 years and mine still expires in 2021.
I set calendar entries a month in advance for licence and passport expiries.
Currently have 3 drivers licences (UK, Singapore and Switzerland) so I need to stay on top of it.

TBH I had no idea about this and just realized mine expires next month. Thanks for posting this, it really would be a good sticky.
No written or email reminder.
I expect that I will be requested to take an driver's educational course, or pay a fine and have points on my licence. I am not sure which is the best option.
Has anyone taken the driver's educational course, and what does it involve?
Ashamed to say that I've just taken my second (and had 3 points in between).
The course is well worth taking. It costs roughly the same as a fixed penalty notice (last one was £90) but no points. The course itself is actually very educational.
First time was attendance in person. I think about 20 offenders and two people running the course. All very good natured but it does take a couple of hours. This time it was online (Zoom) with half a dozen reprobates plus the guy running it. Technology worked ok (course leader had a couple of brief drop outs) but it’s still 2 or 2 1/2 hours long with a 10 minute break and no looking at email or surfing t’interweb whilst you’re doing it. Interestingly two of us were joining from our home studios.
And of course there is the initiation ceremony, but we are sworn not to tell you about that.
i am having to renew my renewal after 1/12 because the photo from the passport database is so poor. The cost to correct is, of course, mine
My car battery was flat due to the car not being used for weeks while I was working from home. I had just charged the battery and was taking the car for an additional top up charge up the M4 and back to West London when I exceeded the speed limit.
