I'm sure they have there own secure way as they should to handle such data
Everyone says that, but they don't tend to be telling the truth
Why they didn't ask on first signup but ask now?
my god and you are a provider?
I sent photocopies of my ID and ToS to various companies. Its really not that big of a deal, most will even let you fax it. Its for anti-fraud measures.
You may not have a choice for much longer.
The new version of the Registrar Agreements are likely to enforce full validation of name, address, phone and email - so domain ordering will be something like ...
Then the registrar texts you a code that you have to enter on a validation page -
you've now confirmed a working phone number and a general location
Finally you're sent a copy of the T&C's by post, which you have to countersign and post back - And puzzle-part-3 is they now know your address.
At any time any Law Enforcement of Gov't aganet who wants any of that information, because they think you've been "naughty" they're entitled to have it just by asking.
