I'm unclear on your question, but any data collected must be stored and used in compliance with the new Privacy Act.

Is there a legal requirement to photo copy the personal information or should it be just visual check the identity , at the lawyers

I believe they need to keep a copy for future reference.

Look harder, but here's a clue. Start with s 5 of the Act and then see ss 49 and 50.

Why the reluctance to let them take a copy? Don't you trust your lawyer?

Yes there have been changes in the last couple of years, bit of a pain but you must follow the rules, they are still a bit primitive having this and that verification/copies etc , not up with the tech scene yet.Go with the flow. You can't trust anybody, even yourself sometimes. Nothing is certain in life. Each to their own.

My lawyer asked me to sign an affidavit for someone I know, who had no current photo ID, confirming that the photo that was supplied, was actually him.

Yesterday upon the stair

Look that whole money laundering stuff is a bid of a joke and more designed to keep an eye on your financial dealings ( and making sure that you pay your tax) than anything else .... take this $10.000 nonsense at the airport for example,,,, it’s “pocket money“ when it comes to money laundering ! If anyone gets done for money laundering over $10-$50k they should be locked up for stupidity rather than anything else ( for dealing in such smal amounts of money ) yet you could wear a $20million dollar Diamond around your neck and nobody would care or notice it .... it’s bit of an excuse of big brother watching you, rather than trying to stop criminal activities, those guys are a lot smarter than that ...

Lots of RE agencies are getting third parties to do this work now as it's too much of a headache. No one can really afford to have Betsey McGee's photo of her stored on their phone holding her passport with the privacy laws these days.
