ID1 proof of identity now needed

Below has been stated multiple times by the Land Registry Official Representative here:
"If you are transferring it as the executor to just yourself as the beneficiary then you'll need to complete and submit form AP1 (application form) and AS1 (transfer deed) along with an official copy of the probate.
You don't need ID1 as you are named in the probate."
I did exactly this and posted it on 5th October, it has only now just been seen (11 weeks later) and I received today an email saying that I need to complete an ID1 or ID3. I phoned Land Registry and told them that I had to provide proof of identity for probate and surely this was enough but they said no everyone now needs to provide proof of identity as the policy has recently changed, can the Official Representative here please clarify this and what exactly has changed.
Doing probate myself was really easy and quicker but this has been a right pain.
