I tried to deactivate my account but my email was replaced by an Appleid.com email. I tried to change the password but I couldn’t. I tried the advanced security option to get access to the account (which I did not create) and was told on screen that I had to upload photos of an id. I stupidly used my passport. I’m really concerned about what has happened to my information. In the search to change password my phone number is not recognized.

Without being able to see all the communications that you received and sent, it's impossible to know whether or not you've been scammed or were indeed communicating with Apple. I would highly advise calling Apple Support and asking them for assistance and confirmation that the steps you took were correct and secure.

Never ever update your passport online!!
What I would do is to be sure, report this to the authorities and get a new passport, so that your current one that you have uploaded has to be made invalid.
Maybe this seems a bit exaggerated, but it is your identity! That is not something to think lightly about
Identity fraud with email?
