And residence is not enough to verify signatures?

It differs from member state to member state which ID number is used. If in
Spain people are used to provide an ID number when signing petitions it's
ok. In other countries it is not. I wanted to inform those people that live
in countries where the requirement of ID number would make it much more
difficult to collect signatures to lobby for a more accessible ECI.

Kind regards,

Jerry
