But if you are not Swedish then any old government-related number would appear to do. Does not matter which government. Does not matter if it a personal identity number. Does not matter if they can check it or not - probably they cannot. I have no idea why they need this. But somehow they really-really need a little number for that field.

And in Denmark the registry requite mandatory validation of that ID-thing -- but only if you use the Danish ID, not otherwise.

Go figure.

In Sweden we managed to kill those ideas at least.

In a more sensitive environment (I think) it would be a responsibility for the registrar to know who the customer (and domain holder / user) actually is, but nope. That is not how the registrar agreements are written. The current situation makes it impossible for a registrar to say "I know this person".

The difference between what one have to do and how to implement it is not very easy to understand sometimes.
