I purchased an unlocked iPhone recently from Apple and decided to swap my AT&T SIM to the built in eSIM so that I could free the physical slot while traveling. I walked into an official AT&T store, told the guy what I wanted and within 10min or so I was on my way out. At no point did he ask me to verify any info on the account, he didn't ask for an ID, my name, send a verification text, or even ask for the old SIM. All I gave him was the phone number I wanted ported to the eSIM, and the corresponding IMEI from my phone.
