no, but paypal wanted me to scan some form of identification to prove my identity. since my driver's license is expired and i'm no longer living in california, all i have is a paper driver's license that they mailed me, so i use my passport for identification purposes. if i am ever traveling in a foreign country in the future, it will be useful to have a digital copy of my passport in case i lose it and have to deal with embassy issues. i have not requested the dmv mail me a new driver's license since the picture was taken when i'm 15 and the inevitable "you look so different!" conversations are kinda lame
