How do eSIMs work for identity verification?
The last several times I've bought SIMs outside Europe, I've had to show my passport.
- Gasp0de 4y agoOutside Europe? Identity verification is mandatory in the EU and afaik there are very few states that haven't implemented it in local law (the netherlands and croatia, I think).
- Symbiote 4y agoI haven't bought one in Europe, since I have both registered and anonymous Danish SIMs, and an anonymous British SIM. (They can be bought anonymously in both countries.) Are you sure it's EU law? I can't find anything on it.
- jaclaz 4y agoNo, it is not EU (AFAIK). Anyway, besides Britain (both before and after Brexit), there is only a handful of countries in EU that do not require ID, among them Denmark: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/sim-card-registration-laws/ https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/sim-card-regist... most do require it.
