    I tried signing up and they wanted a copy of photo ID or something ridiculous. Noped out of there. Is that just a UK thing or what?

      I think ID for new customers is widespread now because of the growth of scams. I enrolled at Porkbun from the US a number of years ago without ID (before they started asking for it) and they haven’t asked me for it retroactively, so I don’t think it’s required, it’s just something they do as an anti-scam measure. I’ve never tried for a UK or other national domain from them.

      Nominet manages the .UK domain, and they’re a bit funny about proof of residence. Not sure I had to give Porkbun any photo ID, but the did temporarily suspend my domain. Took forever to clear up.

      IMO the moral if the story is avoid ccTLDs (though now I have it I’m sticking with it for as long as I can).
