Just wondering how everyone felt about giving all of your driver's license info for screening and verification purposes. I'm not comfortable with it and some indys and agencies won't see you without it.  Any info on the internet is basically fair game and some of us have security clearances.

I think that a lot of guys are going to tell you "hell no I never do it!"

I think you have a lot of girls to choose from in this area and they all screen differently.
Some girls will see you after talking to you a few minutes on the phone and do nothing virtually no screening.
A lot of girls will see you with 2-3 recent references or your P411, Date-Check info.
And some girls won't see you without knowing exactly who you are.

And all of us are just doing what we think is the best thing to keep us safe.

I would say that as long as the girl has reviews and you really, really want to see her - give her the info she asks for.  She really has no intentions of doing anything bad with it.  

I can tell you just from my end that if someone wants to see me they are going to provide the screening information I ask for.  And most of the time that includes their real name and a way to verify employment.  

When you say all of your DL info do you mean like your name, photo and birthday or address and license number?  I can't imagine someone needs your home address and license number especially if they aren't doing an outcall to your house.....

I will show it upon arriving at incall without a second thought. I will not give the info over email or any website forms. That is asking for trouble.

I was asked for my complete address.  I'm not sure why I'd ever need to give that

I agree.  Data gets compromised all the time and once you send info it's retrievable

There used to be several escorts advertising on Eros who had a rip-off scheme involving drivers’ licenses.  They asked to see your driver’s license for identification.  After collecting your fee, they called their scheduler and read the information on your license to the scheduler.  Then they would ask, “What do you want to do?”  When you replied you wanted sex, they replied, “That’s illegal.  I cannot do that!”

 
So, they had your identification and fee, but refused any service.  What could you do?  Nothing.

 
If an escort takes your license and then makes a phone call, grab the license and get the hell out

Yep , that was in the dismal pre-TER days.
A lot of us got sucked into that City Paper ad.
I'll admit to it.

When I got the ..." Whaaaat , oh no , that illegal  , we don't do that" remark I knew there was no point in arguing are making threats.  I just said , " OK , well we still have 55 minutes I've paid for , whatcha wanna talk about" .  They were pretty upset I didn't just storm out of the apartment , which I guess was the norm.

So the cheating bitch had to listen to my bad jokes and worldly opinions for an hour.
On the up side I think the fee was only 100-150.  

I swear after 45 minutes I thought the lady was gonna give me my money back and tell me to get the hell out. But to her larcenous credit she hung in there.

I wonder what they would have done if someone had said "You know, I was a bit concerned about this arrangement so reported my wallet, license and CCs missing this morning/last night

no provider worth giving up your private info to. As you stated "Any info on the internet is basically fair game and some of us have security clearances." so why take the chance. There are many established indie providers who can verify you without your drivers license; beside drivers licenses can be forged so not 100%.  

I utilize my P411 "Okays" when requesting a date; and if that is not good enough for her then fine; no problem. Since it is her prerogative and I respect that (although it has never happened), and I move to the next lady on my dance card (which is waaayyy too long). Hahaha.

In the end it is your choice on what personal information you want to give to a person you have never met before. Hobby safe!

END OF MESSAGE

They aren't going to compromise you, unless you do something like shorting donation, getting violent during session, miss an appointment without notice... And even then, the only thing they'll do is make a note on in the blacklist websites. Noone is going to put themselves out there and risk their way of life.

 

END OF MESSAGE

If you have recent references, or date-check or p411, I would have no need to ask for ID.

 
I delete everything at the end of the appointment.
