Supporting Document for Residence Card

Good day,

I would like to know if I can use my Greek Identity Card instead of my Greek passport to send as supporting document for my wife's residence card application.

This is an example of what it looks like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_identity_card

It is a valid travel document around Europe.

Reason I would rather not use my passport is that my job requires me to travel abroad weekly.

Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
