Hell, I had a registrar ask me to do that.

I opened up an account and bought 7 or 8 domains within a week and they locked my account for fraud. They wanted to call the number I had on my account, but trouble is I am hardly ever home, so I kept missing their call. They would not specify a time they would call, so I'm sure as fuck not going to sit around all day waiting for namecheap to call me over $80 worth of domains. And they won't let you call them, which is bullshit. They don't even provide a phone number for support.

So I asked if there was any other way to do it, so I had to send in a copy of my driver's license. Pain in the ass. Apparently lots of other people get hit with that too.
