http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-462.html says:

"If your business has not yet been incorporated and has not been
registered in the Commercial Trade Register, please include a photocopy
of the requester's valid identity card."

(that the requester might just be a natural person or a noncommercial
organization is obviously beyond the expectation)

I will definately NOT send a plain copy of my passport around. Nowhere
else is such a drastic measure ever required, except buying ammunition
and firearms via mailorder. Asking for that to get a few numbers
assigned is plain over the top.

[and RIPE NCC wouldn't be able to verify the validity of that ID copy
anyway, so this is bogus in the first place]

Best regards,
Daniel
