"Converting to Business Account - Can I use Passport instead of NIN?" | Payments

Hi everyone, I am trying to convert my private account to a business account but I am stuck at the payout information step. I do not have a UK National Insurance Number (NIN) as I am not a UK resident. Can I use my passport or driving license from my own country as an alternative to NIN? Will eBay safely accept these documents for identity verification and allow me to complete the business account conversion? Has anyone done this successfully? Any advice would be appreciated!
