Ciaran,

Try regstering your alt by entering

Name
Date of Birth
Postcode (this is important)
and for the ID field just choose one of the forms (such as ID Card) and enter “Not Applicable” (that why if it verifies, LL can’t accuse you of entering false information since what you enter is accurate by virtue that the verification succeeded).

…abd here’s the italian scheme:

XXX + YYY + year-of-birth + (letter of alphabet rangin from the 1st to the twelvth, basically month of birth) + day-of-birth (number) + area code (needs some practicing of admin stuff) + checkdigit (letter)
where XXX and YYY stands for 3 letters from your name plus 3 from your surname.
basically the algorithm to create them is so easy that once you know name, surname, date and place fo birth you can easily obtain one on the internet.
it was very common procedure for banks and alike to “manually” obtain one when missing it in the customers documentation, of course sometimes the results of the mathematical tool on the internet are a little unpredictable and this practice is outlaw now (tough everyone keep doing that).

In Serbia (and the rest of former Yugoslavia) every citizen has 13 digits ID number. First seven digits are date of the birth, no algorithm just the plain date. And every kid realizes that. There is also one number for sex (which is also easy to realize if you compare several numbers. The rest is code of the area kid was born which is not so obvious and takes a bit of insight into administrative codes. Last three numbers are counting the kids born on the specific day in specific area.
But sharing passport data with any foreign officials is supposed to be illegal though I don’t get it cause you have to give your passport in the embassy. And that is the case with many other countries that are not happy with their citizens sharing data with unknown organizations abroad.
