Title: shutterstock requires "full" passport and/or drivers license to register?
Post by: SuperPhoto on January 18, 2018, 02:02

Hi -

I'd like to register with shutterstock - but they demand a full passport and/or drivers license (nothing covered up). Which means your complete license #, and or passport #, *and* they demand your signature as well.
 
I think that is wrong - especially nowadays with all sorts of security breaches. All it will take is one breach and a ton of people's identities being misused.

Did you have to go through this process? If not - what did you do to get signed up?

I used my photo drivers license but blanked out the sensitive info but left the address and name and they didn't have a problem with that

Really. Hmm. Was that a recent signup, or a long time ago?
