Unfortunately there's really no magic solution. Account verification is a legal requirement.
You have two options:
Link your bank account to your PayPal account or be approved for PayPal Smart Connect, PayPal Credit, the PayPal Extras MasterCard®, or the eBay MasterCard®.
As for additional proof of ID, PayPal accepts a Driver's License, SSN and will often ask for a Utitliy Bill that shows your name and physcial street address. Some Utitilites allow for joint accounts - meaning, you can get your name on the bill too. Something to look into.
