  Identification is a standard practice in the cryptocurrency industry, and Coinbase is no exception. By requiring identification, Coinbase aligns itself with industry best practices and regulatory guidelines. This ensures that Coinbase remains compliant with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations, which are designed to prevent illicit activities and protect users.
