Getting unbanned from Instagram for impersonating other person.

Okay, so I've had this account for specific niche where, there were pictures of someone else. Username was fake "first and last name".
After a yr, someone recognised said person (small U.S celebrity.. yeah dumb me) and reported & account got flagged and banned.
For the appeal, instagram wants me to provide 1. my I.D 2. Some bank/bills documents to verify my name.

So how do I approach this. Do I photoshop fake ID of this guy along with the documents, or use some other person/my ID to send IG?

Thanks for all the input. Looking for answers.

My friend once created a parody FB account using my picture. (I was about 14 at the time)
My mom found this account and contacted the police. (I didn't know she did this)
A couple of months later the police were at my door telling me someone had impersonated my account and what I wanted to do about it.
I had to tell them he was a friend and that I wanted to drop the charges.

Moral of the story? Don't be an idiot.
