Stuck on Instagram identity checkpoint with NO ID

Hey everyone,

​I am completely locked out of my Instagram account (omardridiiiiiiii) and desperately need help. Yesterday, my app suddenly kicked me out and sent me to a mandatory "Help us confirm you own this account" checkpoint screen.

​The problem is, it is strictly demanding that I upload a photo of an official ID (like a passport or national identity card). I do not have a government-issued ID or passport right now. I have tried uploading alternative papers, but the automated system keeps rejecting them or freezing.

​What I've tried so far:

​Uninstalling and reinstalling the app (it just opens right back up to the exact same locked screen).

​Trying to log in via a web browser/desktop (it still forces the checkpoint page).

​Looking for a "Try another way" or "Video Selfie" button, but the app isn't giving me any alternative options.

​This account holds all of my daily work and creative projects, and losing access is completely ruining my livelihood. Because of the block, I can't even access the settings to send a standard support report.

​Has anyone successfully bypassed this specific document loop without a government ID? Is there a way to force the app to show the video face-scan or social vouching options instead? Any advice or links to working appeal forms would be heavily appreciated. Thank you.
