In Germany you have to send them a copy of your passport before they even get you a server. Got this with Hetzner.
No, you don't have to. What German law do you think would require it?
http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tkg_2004/__95.html This law. Read it, learn from it.
How about you cut down on the attitude, kiddo? I asked my question as I genuinely wanted to know the particular law in question, and I don't see any reason for your incongruous snark.
Also, the law states that the service provider *can* (not must!) ask for ID if it is necessary for verification. Like I said, I have never been asked, nor have my customers, so I still don't consider it normal.
