That is not part of the law, and infact the legal requirement to submit a DMCA take down is to affirm under penalty of perjury that you own the copyright or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner
paragraph 3A(vi) requires:
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed.
This would then necessitate some kind of identity confirmation, the fact these companies for their own expedient and costs have implemented an easily abused system because "scale" and over reliance on automated systems
