Ok – I think I found the answer after … carefully reading the docs 🙂

So according to the docs the id field could be set to a ModelField like this: 

id = serializers.ModelField(model_field=ServiceType()._meta.get_field('id'))

Indeed, after adding this line the id field is present in validated_data 🙂

The accepted answer works but is unnecessarily complicated. You can just change the ID field to not be readonly. E.g. something like this will do:

id = serializers.IntegerField(required=False)

You have set id as a ReadOnlyField. That’s why id does not appear in validated data. Just remove this line: 

id = serializers.ReadOnlyField()

The more straightforward option: 

id = serializers.IntegerField(write_only=False)
