About privacy

[Crusader3000]

Who know registrars that not want account verifycation ? I am not want send my passport anybody and I not want anybody see my name, family, telephone and mail. Registrars support can use my passport in black works, anybody can send me spam or can call in my telephone. When I sell domain, not all registrars change personal information. I am not want pay for privacy, I am want free privacy and cheap domains. How do you protect your privacy ?
P.S. Sorry my bad english please.

There are only two types of people in this world that want that much privacy...

I'm pretty sure it's a violation of every registrar's ToS to give falsified information like that.

He didn't say he wanted to falsify information, not that I see. He just wants to be private. However, that usually costs extra.

Thank you. I am not criminal, I am paranoid. I am not have pages in social networks, but I must send my passport registrar when he block my account. It is not good for me.

Namesilo.com has privacy for free, you can turn on and off.
Namecheap.com has free privacy for when i have used them.
Be paranoid, it's ok. And some understand your command of english language is not perfect, and they misinterpret things. Where are the names you have registerd now, that you are having this issue, or is it you want to know for future use?

I have never sent any documentation to any registrar. Only heard of one that wanted it in relation to a push. That was crazy domains.

But you must pay for whois privacy.

I register cheap domains with promo codes and give minimal (but real) personal information. Thank you for namecheap and namesilo, these registrars will be my priority.

1.) Criminal Element
2.) A Person who understands the risks with sharing personal information. A person who understands that as long as their are other human beings that have access to this data then it can be compromised.

Namecheap doesnt provide free privacy. It is for first year only. You can use NameSilo and Uniregistry who both provide free privacy.

 

[biggie]

not really private, if and when the privacy service, knows who you are.

3) the mentally ill

Edit: I was referring to 1 and 3. Your #2 makes no sense as you can watermark a passport and even exclude your place of birth and passport number... everything else is the "minimal information".

So there are more than 2 types?

Making your initial statement null and void

See my edit. I didn't think of your #2.

My point is that there are countless amount of reason why people might want to have a certain level of privacy. Not all of them are because of criminal intent.

But if, like the OP stated, he's going to provide the minimal information required to the registrar, ie that seen on a passport minus place of birth and passport number, why be so afraid to prove the information's legitimacy if there's nothing to hide?

The story doesn't stack too well.

 

[ultradog]

It stacks fine. It sounds like he is concerned about misuse of his confidential information. It's not unreasonable to distrust internet entities.

Tell me what's so confidential on a passport, other than the place of birth and passport number, that the registrar wouldn't already know from the information that you freely provided upon signing up... unless you initially falsified it that is.

Go on, tell me; I'm looking at mine right now. To the best of my knowledge, every registrar I signed up with has this most basic information.

From what I understand the op is highlighting the danger of staff members using his passport copy for their own agenda. Like photo-shoppping their own picture in there and creating accounts at other registrars and hosting companies then use those domains and hosting accounts for fraud.

Which is the exact reason that I previously stated to watermark it.

For instance, the ID card I sent to DropCatch to bid above $59 had all the information I provided them, except, it states "DropCatch" about 10 times in red all over the image. It makes it completely worthless to any employee for that stated purpose.

Sure there are certain security measure that can be taken, like watermarking. However assuming that watermarking your documents make them tamper proof is a false sense of security. Yes it might deter some people and add an additional level of security but it can still be tampered with, depending on the skills set of the criminal.

Just did a basic Google search now, this is what I found on the top listed results (dont know if they work or not but it seems it can be done)
