A reverse image search of a few of her photos don't show anything suspicious, I suspect that if you really wanted to see her you could try to explain why you aren't comfortable with such a proceedure.
My main concern for DL and biz card would be identity theft afterword or by someone that gains access to her files by mistakeVisiting provider wants copy of drivers lic before meet. Had reputable references. Any thoughts/concerns
A copy of my DL? And before a face to face. No way in hell sir nor would I give her a copy at the face to face. See it as a validation at the time of the meeting? Okay maybe. But honestly I've never even had that happen.
Plenty of other lovely ladies in the ATL.
My 2.5 cents on a Sunday
Does she want you to use mail or fax? I usually let them see it when we met if they ask, but I wouldn't advise it before a meeting.
Asked me to email her copied of my DL and a business card. Needless to say, I passed.

No one's going to give a girl a reference where they didn't behave. There could be 2 girls who think you're the best thing ever and 8 girls that want to spit in your food. I've made a few friends in the business and know that references aren't enough to assure the ones who have been at this a while. I actually feel more comfortable knowing the provider I'm seeing takes care of herself and that means she truly screens her clients and doesn't depend on references. I have NO problem emailing a copy of my ID so they know that I'm screening as myself and I've no ill intentions. It's so much better to walk into an appointment relaxed about where I am and what's about to go down. pun intended!

See the discussion a few threads below. That last thing you should do is send a copy of your ID by email or fax. I think it's okay to show ID in person but don't let it be recorded anywhere.
How about a verfication service then?
I am applying for P411 application and they asked me for copy of DL, is it safe to send it to them?
hmm that must be a new thing because I didn't have to do that with p411 but that was a couple of years ago.
I would verify which country they and specially their servers are located in and decide. e.g. TER is pretty safe, it's out of reach.
I think overall services like p411 are safer to give ID to. I just would not allow a provider to have a copy because who know where it may end up, and who knows if it's even destroyed at all, regardless of any claims made
