Does the domain registrar have the legal right to request real personal data?

Hello, friends.
Actually a question. Legally, does the domain registrar have the right to do so? Interested in the opinion of legally savvy people.
As far as I understand, in order to request passport data, an organization needs to be registered in some kind of state register. But I did not go deep into the topic, I walked only on the tops.
I had a case when a well-known foreign domain registrar asked me for a scan of my passport. This was my greatest indignation. I understand that Ikann has issued a rule to indicate real data. But, firstly, Ikann is not a legislative body, secondly, it is not a government organization, and thirdly, this organization is generally located outside of our country. Sending, in such circumstances, a scan of the passport, seems to me an extremely dubious procedure.
Also, my original question can be supplemented with the following questions: Does the registrar have the right to refuse to provide services if I refuse to present my passport data? Does Ikann even have the right to demand personal data without fail? Why is the private use of a domain a paid service in the current situation? And why, in principle, is it a service and not an option?
Please help me sort out the situation. Especially those people who are well acquainted with the Federal Law and in particular 153 on the protection of personal data, as well as with laws in other countries, especially the United States, since Ikann is located there.
PS: During a long conversation with the support of that registrar, the young man told me that they have a contract that states that the registrar has the right to refuse if personal data is not provided. Actually, the question arises: Does such an agreement, in principle, have force if it contradicts or does not comply with the Federal Law?

Has, like any legal entity. a person providing services under a contract.
The registrar requires your data in order to enter into a contract with you. You have the right not to provide him with this data by refusing the service.

> private use of a domain is a paid service
If you are talking about a private person in whois, it depends on the arrogance of the registrar, almost all of these services are free.

Didn't ask this question either. I think the Ministry of Informatization and Communications should be called with such a question; )

Who's stopping you from going to the Russian registrar's office and presenting your passport in person when registering a domain? And there will be no questions under foreign law, and you can check the permission to collect personal data on the spot.
And with foreign registrars - they work in their country according to their own laws. Don't like it - move on.
