If Austria demands a valid Austrian ID number, Amazon would have to build an app to request this, validate it against the Austrian database, provide data security guarantees to the Austrian government for using this information, etc. If the barriers are higher than the demand Amazon will just say fuck it.
- phillc73 6y agoI've registered .at domains on gandi.net and there's no ID requirements. It's no more difficult than registering a .com or .co.uk domain name. On the other hand, .com.au for example requires a valid Australian business registration number for domain registration.
