> They used to require sending a copy of an ID card as proof that you are who you say you are. I guess gdpr put an end to that.
That was the case for me when I registered with Hetzner, though that was a few years ago. Then again, I registered for Contabo this month and still had to send my ID and something to prove my address. Their justification was that they're required by law to verify that data (KYC or something), so I guess they have to process that data even with GDPR being a thing.
