My Linkedin account was temporarily restricted about 9 days ago, at first I thought it was a temporary restriction, that Linked will restored my account very soon. But even up till today, it is still the same thing. The annoying thing is that they are asking for my ID or Drivers licence (which I don't have).
Does LinkedIn really need those document?
Please help I am confused, the account is just about 4 months old.

The exact same thing happened to me few months ago. I haven't done anything about it yet, cos for now, i'm not making use of it but I'll definitely need it in the future...
So we both need help.

I had a LinkedIn account way back 2018, I forget the login details so I left the account dormant.
Fast forward to 2021, after completing an online program, we were tasked with creating a LinkedIn profile so as to communicate with the instructors, I didn't remember I had a previous LinkedIn with the same name as the one I opened recently.
Luckily for me, the current LinkedIn account was active for about 4months before LinkedIn blocked it.
.
I tried reaching out to them, I even called there customer support number, bacause they mailed it to me, and they explained that I have another LinkedIn account with the same credentials as the one I am using.
.
After the discussion, I told them to delete a copy of my NIN that I sent to them and to also delete the new LinkedIn account.
.
So the point is, if LinkedIn detects that you have 2 similar account, they will block the most recently created account. You can only have one LinkedIn account.

Ask someone to create the account for you. Make sure you don't use the same (picture) details on the previously nabbed account. Only login on a Fresh device that's not in anyways connected to the device you've used to login on your previous acc.
