In the USA yes, other countries don't have as many requirements. Most are just trying to keep track of legal day limits.

- throwaway2256 12y agoInteresting, do you know of any ATMs in currently use that don't have these kinds of requirements? I love bitcoin but this machine leaves a lot to be desired. EDIT, since I can't reply to nvk's message below mine: that link just has a bunch of press releases and a map, it does not help to answer the question of what identity requirements those ATMs have. Robocoin did not exactly advertise these requirements loudly in their PR either.
- nvk 12y agoThere are a bunch here http://www.coindesk.com/technology/bitcoin-atm/ http://www.coindesk.com/technology/bitcoin-atm/ You can also look in the map http://coinmap.org/ http://coinmap.org/ And most of Coinkite's public retailer's that sell bitcoin https://coinkite.com/locations/ https://coinkite.com/locations/
