hi everybody.. im a new member as u would tell already, and i wanted to introduce myself posting this situation..

I recently buyed a domain with 1&1, but before it can be registered, they're asking me for documentation such as my passport or a government issued photo id for "authentication" purposes.. is this a normal process.. or is it something i shouldn't trust about ? as i have never heard of it before.. (newbie webmaster)


thanks everyone in advance..
