How to Unlock Facebook Account Without ID Proof
Facebook could require you to verify your identity in a variety of ways. The site initially just allows you to request a code to be sent to your mobile device or to ask your friends for assistance. In order to verify your identity, you may occasionally get the option to log in using your Google account, which is connected to your Facebook account.
The last resort for confirming your identity is typically to request identification documentation from you. Therefore, you should hunt for alternative methods to unlock your account whenever you enter Facebook and see the opportunity to upload ID evidence. Here’s how to go about it:

Step 5: Choose the option to receive a verification code via SMS. Enter the code you received, and your account should be unlocked.

Be sure to provide as much information as possible, including your name, email address, and a brief description of the issue you're experiencing. It may take some time for Facebook to respond, but they should be able to help you unlock your account without needing to provide identification documentation.

Step 6: If you've entered the codes correctly, Facebook will allow you to reset your password and regain access to your account.

Facebook will review your appeal and make a decision on whether or not to unlock your account.
In your appeal, be sure to explain your situation in detail and provide any relevant information that could help Facebook verify your identity. For example, if you recently changed your phone number or email address, be sure to mention that in your appeal.
