How common is it for employers to ask for photos of the front and back of your ID before an interview is even mentioned?

I figure I already know the answer but had a possible employer message me via LinkedIn about an application I put in. They have a link to a jotform for me to fill out and it all looks fairly normal but at the end it's wanting me to upload pictures of my ID.

The message on LinkedIn only mentions they are contacting me about the job application and asking me to fill out the jotform.

I asked why the need pictures of my ID and they replied it's to verify I'm a US citizen and also for a background check to avoid fraud.
