> Hello all,<br>
> <br>
> I'm writing to ask some advice on behalf of someone who contacted EFF about<br>
> being asked by a registrar to supply photo ID in order to regain access to their<br>
> .com domain. The registrar is <a href="http://netearthone.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">netearthone.com</a> which is based in London, and<br>
> they have the personal information of this customer for billing purposes, but<br>
> for the data that is displayed through WHOIS, the customer set their details to<br>
> the words "Anonymised", which led to the registrar suspending the domain for<br>
> containing fake WHOIS data.<br>
> <br>
> My question is, is it normal for a registrar to require photo ID to unblock a<br>
