Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Assuming they mean a photograph of the passport/license of the person your collecting on behalf of?

Yeah, would guess so. Seems overkill somewhat. At Stockholm I just wandered up with the email and they handed over the packs. Are the people handing out the packs really going to spend their day reading letters etc?

I think they should ask for a photo of the two of you together, to prove you know each other.

:-)

Think it should be interview, like when couples have to prove their love so both of them can stay in the country. When you first met, favourite films etc etc...

Isn't this fairly standard?
I have had to collect numbers with photo id on a few occasions, it seems sensible that they apply some checks, or am I missing something.

I guess it's one way of trying to prevent people selling their numbers to complete strangers on RW/eBay etc.

no i just meant that if someone took photo id of me for my number how do they know it's me. it makes perfect sense if i'm standing there picking up the number.

although the only time i did london mara i forgot my id but had my purse with cards in so the took that instead :)
