For over 10 years, the Swedish Internet Foundation, since assuming the duties of the .NU registry, has required that all Swedish registrants of .NU domain names provide their "personnummer", or personal ID number. This is a government issued number, issued by the government of Sweden, used for Tax identification and other purposes. It is also on all government issued IDs and Passports in Sweden. In short, the .NU registry requires that the identity of all registrants is valid and can be confirmed through government databases.
Recently, the .NU registry has extended this requirement from just residents of Sweden to all residents of any country and applies to all .NU and .SE domain names.
Note that this requirement only applies if the domain name is registered to an individual. If the domain is registered to a corporation, then a corporate ID number or organization number should be provided instead.
