Ie domain registration question

StereoSound

Looking to get an IE registration but the provider wants me to email photocopy of my passport or driving license? I don't really want to send someone a photocopy of those things incase I become a victim of identity theft.

If I send my driving license for example, would it be reasonable of me to cover up my driving license number so only my name name and address and photo is visible?

I would assume so but ask your registrar and/or the IEDR. You can also use a bank statement, college ID, public services card or any correspondance with Revenue. The PSC is probably best to use if you have one as any personal information is on the rear which you wouldn't be showing.

In any case, if you're wary of providing your domain registrar with this information, you have the option to furnish the documentation directly to the IEDR who will then inform your domain registrar that you've met the requirements.

That's the way it is for IE domain registrations I'm afraid.

I don't bother with them any more because it's so easy to grab a dot com one.
