I don't live in Europe, but with Orange, I had to upload a photo of my EU passport (they didn't accept a non-EU passport to extend the lifespan of the SIM card). Offtopic: those laws seem kind of silly if you can still get a valid SIM for 10 days without any ID. Seems more to be about surveillance than about anti-terrorism.
