Godaddy is asking for a copy of license ID/passport, should I give it them, even though, the exact info does not match the gift card I purchased with (please see below).

what happened was I accidently misspelled a domain name, then got a refund after I called them and then they asked me for a copy of Id just because of that. But I didn't give them the first time around since I thought they might forget it but with 2 days they also refunded all my other domain purchase that I purchased with the other domain, so this time I must provide them with the ID copy.

But THE PROBLEM IS the street address is different then i have on my ID (same zip code, city and state) and I did put the whole correct spelling for my name (just didn't put one alphabet in the middle for first and last name but you can tell easily, without a second, that not putting one alphabet does not matter).

I registered as personal not business.

SO should I send them the copy of ID and hope for the best or DOES ANYONE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE and can tell me what I can do about it: just let it go and registere with another account and another credit card (that will take a month since the domain won't be availabe after a month)?

So please help me about what I should do!
 


the domains should be available within days, this happened to me before, i would just create another account using another gift-card
 
well it happened just 2 days ago and i have more accounts with similar details. So, do you think they can find out my other account and cancel them as well (they were registered within a month) if i opeend another account with similar gift card?
 
Do you think they really care about your address? And passports don't have addresses on them.
 
This is urgent, since I do not want to lose all my 10 accounts (with 50 domain names) I created with godaddy with all the same info!:

I am not worry about the address but the incorrect spelling of the first and last name because both are missing one alphabet in each of them! For example, the name Bobby is missing the middle alphabet B, and the last name, rodriguez is missing the alphabet E.

Therefore, I am worried that because of the incorrect spelling, they will find out I didn't really use a credit card, but a gift card. In addition, they won't unblock my account, and cancel everything!!! So, If anyone had an experience like this, please let me know how should I carry this out!

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
 
Transfer them to NameCheap if any of them are more than 60 days since your changed the WhoIs info, and not within a week of expiring. As per ICANN rules they have to allow transfer.

PS: I think they would know the difference between a Visa gift card, and a credit card, also, on my godaddy accout I just been using PayPal for the last few years and never bothered with a credit card, and all they really get from that is my paypal email address and subscription ID.
 
well what if i just photoshop the ID and make it spell in the same way I have it on godaddy. That way, they won't know it is missing one alphabet on the first name and last name. However, if I do that, do you think they can possibly know it is fake, just by looking up the ID # on a government based software (that checks ID's # to see if they are real and not fake)?

Due to Privacy Laws, Godaddy wouldn't be entitled to that kind of access.
 
I don't understand, he only changed one letter. He could play it off like he's a retard and spelled his name wrong every time... given this thread, it wouldn't even be that surprising.

Why the heck would GoDaddy care? Also, switch to NameCheap.
 
Never mind! I cancelled the account and will just buy the domain from some where else, since I am not in a rush to keep it and no one else will buy the domain name. Thanks for all your help regarding this situation!
