the providers that I buy from give me a pic of ID plus a pic of model holding the ID.

It's called covering my ass
Just a question here: Do you post yourself as the 18 USC 2257 custodian of records for your site, or do you post the publisher? If you are in possession of the records, and are posting yourself as the Custodian, that makes you legally responsible for the accuracy of those records. If that's what you want to do, more power to you... but 18 USC 2257 is quite specific about the fact that only those "involved in hiring or procurement of the models" are CoR's, and the secondary producers clause of CFR 75 were struck down some years back.

If you feel like subjecting yourself to legal scrutiny for no apparent reason, that's your decision, of course.
