Receiving a payment from Europe and ID

[SignalGruen]

Hello all,

I have just sold my car to a chap in Holland. He's arranging a bank transfer and has asked for a scanned copy of my passport - is this normal ? He says this is to comply with anti-terror laws but I couldn't find anything online about this.

Cheers.

Cheers, just wanted to make sure that I wasn't being paranoid. All sorted now without sending passport info
