So I just abandoned their cart and went with another registrar. Has anyone came across this ID verification thing at Porkbun? No domain registrar asks this. I&#8217;ve domains with dynadot, godaddy, the online, and spaceship too. Even European providers like gandi and strato didn&#8217;t asked me any ID verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">tags: #porkbun #id #verification #verifiyid #domain #registration #terminate #avoid<\/p><div class='code-block code-block-9' style='margin: 8px auto 8px 0; text-align: left; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<!-- OnlHeaderResponsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5339207343588395\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9406207027\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n<!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porkbun started asking for ID verification during domain registration Recently, I saw a thread on lowendtalk forum and later tried to register domain name with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-forum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
