I’m straight-up not comfortable uploading a government document online. Bite my shiny metal toosh, Microsoft.
This is kinda standard practice for many of the tech companies… I’ve had to provide such information to Google, I think I declined last time but it was some rights for Youtube that time, it’s also something that Facebook do ask some users if they think you’re not using your real name…
I totally get your sentiment about this.

Microsoft locked my account (one week after forcing me to migrate from my Mojang account), and they require a phone number for “verification”. They don’t have anything to verify against however. So if someone malicous had gained access to my account, they could just enter their own number and the account is theirs to keep I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
