Ask HN: .music Domain Owners – Govt ID is required?
I recently bought a .music domain and when I did in May or June I don't recall my register service saying I will need to upload my government ID.
I have been working on my .music project through this month and was ready to publish it on the web when I received an email from support@register.music (did research & it looks legit tho maybe not).
I wondered those who have .music domains did you have to do this same thing and or has this email address contacted you later requesting your ID?
