I just got an email check this out:



Hello I will enclose the requirements for transfers out now..

Domain Transfer and Registrant Validation:

While we dont wish to lose a domain name , we understand that there
are instances that require a domain name to be moved.

We have found that the traditional ICANN policies of providing epp codes have
a security flaw in them, and as our business does not do business face to face,
we needed to institute a positive identification system to ensure that
the domain
registrant is the transferring party.


Please find following our policy regarding validation of domain
transfer requests:

1. All domain transfer requests will require a positive identification
process. This means in order to remove the registrar administrative
domain lock you will be required to fax one of the following:

- a legible copy of a current drivers license in the name of the
domain registrant
- a legible copy of a current passport in the name of the domain registrant
- a letter from the corporation signed by a senior officer on
corporate letterhead, if the registrant is a corporation.

additionally, a letter outlining the domain name to be transferred.

Our fax # is:**********

Once these positive identification processes have been completed, and
the transfer request identified as bonafide and initiated by the
domain registrant , the transfer will be allowed to proceed.

This policy and requirement is a part of your account operating and
domain registration agreement.

thank you

Can they ask for this ?
Shit it reminds of Epassporte !
