> Why wouldn't they reject a ID/passport with some details blacked out?
A better question is why would they? Sending an unredacted copy of my ID to some foreign company just to buy some hosting would seem crazy to me.
Here's a quote from their authentication email when I signed up a few years ago:
> As a new customer, we kindly request that you provide us with a copy (scan/photo) of your passport or ID card for authentication purposes. You can blur or block out information that is not necessary for authentication.
I sent in a picture of my driver's license with everything except my photo, name, and address blacked out, and they approved it. (In hindsight I'm not even sure why I didn't black out the photo part.)
I stand corrected with them mentioning blur/block in the authentication email (this was not the case earlier). But anyhow, what is for you "some foreign company" and "some hosting" is for them "some customer" which most likely is nice/friendly but there are exceptions.
