gross and blatantly illegal under dutch law. companies don't need a copy of my id. most of them don't even adhere to the law anyway and demand an uncensored copy. every time I follow the instructions from my government to blank out the BSN (SSN) the (usually american) company rejects it and demands an uncensored version they're not even permitted to have.
