While Beria is technically right (probably), I agree with David. Gerard Meijssen, 09/07/2011 10:06: > If you do not trust the person involved, you are crazy to send him a copy of > your passport.

Gerard is right as well. This system makes sense and could work as an extension of those occasions when a trusted user says "oh, but I met both User:Whatever and User:AllegedSockpuppet in person at that wikimeetup, I grant you they really exist!", but probably there shouldn't be any "official" page, policy or guideline suggesting people to send private data like Huib described.
