Look on it this way
When you go for a face to face interview the criteria will (should) be
- Can you do the job?
- Will you fit into the team?
The CV should take care of 1
Would you want to waste time attending an interview if there was some hidden criteria for 2?
Yes I know its wrong
Yes I know its discriminatory
Yes I know it's illegal
But would you want to waste your time (assuming you don't match the criteria) if the client wants to filter on Age/Colour/Dress Sense/Attractiveness/etc ???

I have never been asked, but like others have said copies of passport etc after an offer or during an interview are not uncommon. If asked I would just say something along the lines of, I can provide one at the interview etc or something along those lines.

Pretty standard in Germany, particularly for permie interviews. Have been asked a couple of times for contracts and just tell them that I don't have a camera or scanner.
