No serious service in this world is going to accept a scanned copy that was tampered with but cutting parts from it.
None!!!!!
I really can't find any supporting blog or documents for the number 1 in the list. I have seen in some (about 30%) of the ICOs I study that they REQUIRE hiding of identifying number in the ID before submission. So I guess this is a real thing?
I found this just now, in a website here
http://www.austrac.gov.au/part-b-amlctf-program-customer-due-diligence-procedures"a reporting entity could verify the customer’s name by referring to their driver’s licence that shows the customer’s first name, middle initial, and family name. "
But it says nothing about the covering of some data.
Of course, because you can't cover that data. It's common sense.
The article you point out clearly specifies the name:
For example, a reporting entity could verify the customer’s name by referring to their driver’s licence that shows the customer’s first name, middle initial, and family name.
Following the logic that it only asks for the full name, you could send them an ID with a photo, right???
The documentation-based safe harbour procedures involve:
an original or certified copy of a primary photographic identification document, or both:
You know what original means? It means something that hasn't been tampered with.
