Quite a lot of countries apparently, require registering to get a sim card:

I knew of a few countries. Looking into it, it seems registration is more common in the world than not.
In some countries, they even take fingerprints or face scans!

Thats an interesting list, shocking to see how many actually ask for ID. Hoping this practice does not become more pervasive.

Guess that it will under the guise of protecting the populace against terrorism or whatever. Not many countries even in developed Europe where you can get one without an ID.
