Was wondering the same. This isn't common practice and under GDPR this is considered sensitive personal data.

There's an option to pick organization too but it's a bit unclear to me what documents you need to provide there.

I can understand them targeting new account, or some of those offshore clients buying and sell tons of domains thru their markets, why they singling out aged domainer accounts with little to none marketplace usage, these woukd be deemed low risk, especially if they are not pulling any funds off the platform, simply renewing domains?

Every vendor always says we will safeguard your data , then 2 years later you get that dreaded email that our systems were accessed by outside parties and your data might have been compromised. Would appreciate a rep response to what’s going on here.

Never seen a domain company ask for kyc unless you do crypto payout or something ? Seems a bit far fetched , what is reasoning for this?

I had to do this a few years back in order to unlock my account, very reluctantly complied and no problems since. But I still dread ever having to do it again.

This is apparently a curated list, so there clearly weren't many decent .com's sent in!

What rhymes with Schlitz show

That makes sense, a warranted reason for doing so. Just out of the blue to non problem accounts that are not withdrawing or active in marketplace purchase, or sales kind of odd. To many companies have messed up people's data, and their should be consequences other than some crappy credit monitoring promo for a few months. They start with a few, and soon it becomes ALL.

KYC is required for a lot of cctlds, especially European. If, for example, you have any .de domains in your account then KYC is mandatory.
