Digitalocean asks for my photo card with passport in hand, how do I pass verification without it?

Question

privacy

When registering an account after the first stage of registration and entering all the data of a bank card, digitalocean asks me to fill out a mandatory verification form with fields

• Name
  
• Telephone
  
• The address
  
• Traffic type
  
• Links to my public pages and profiles in blogs and social networks
  

Filled out the form, already thinking that they require quite personal information in the last paragraph.
A new letter arrives asking me to send a photo of me where I keep my passport or my ID.
How legitimate is it for them to demand this from me? Is this true for any accounts or did I fall under the "spam" filter?

Answer 1

We buy a left SIM card We start
qiwi We
start a virtual qiwi card
We start paypal and replenish it from a
qiwi card Regai DO paying with paypal

Answer 2

A standard requirement for almost all hosts, if payment is not via PayPal. It is cheaper for a hoster to lose a few paranoid customers than to deal with spammers who pay for services with stolen cards later.

Answer 3

And what exactly is the problem? Photo+ID.

Answer 4

it is just like a photocopy of a passport. so they have

Answer 5

The claim is 100% correct. This is their service. If you do not like the requirement, then you can go to another host. They need proof of your identity, they requested it. I do not like? Go to another place.
And, yes, I don’t use their services myself, I refused in favor of an iron server from another host, but this does not change my attitude towards them or their requirements. Don't want to use the service? Do not use, but do not try to dictate the rules of your pigsty to other people.

Answer 6

Go to flops or go to yourserver.se
In general, IMHO, digitalocean has been screwed up lately - they didn't ask me for a passport, no photos, nothing. The card, however, is personal and in my name is open.

Answer 7

You seem to be suspicious.
They didn't ask for anything at all.
The form could be filled with semi-fake data, a link to twitter or facebook could be given, that's the problem ...
And so they aroused unnecessary suspicion.
Hetzner for example requires a passport photo and card for all new users. So they fight using stolen cards.
