Shutterstock requires passport to register...
Hello and happy New Year and let the new year bring everybody happiness and health and tons of greenies ;-)I'm very new here and don't have any pictures yet, but it's coming.
I have a question about Shutterstock registration. They require a copy of the passport to protect from fraud and illegal activities.
Anybody familar with it ?
Is it ok to register ? Thanks!

Hi Zal, When I joined shutterstock they didn't require the passport, but I think it was added later. Shutterstock is a good microstock agency; they have always paid me promptly each month and do not demand that their photographers place images exclusively with them. Only issue is acceptance/rejection of your photos can somewhat seem arbitrary, depends on the particular inspector looking at your photos at the time. My referal code for shutterstock is:
http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=9126 (full disclosure: I would gain a referral commission if you sell photos through shutterstock, but no cost to you).

Thanks Howard, their requirement is a little unusual.
Passport is like a social security number.
So, do you think it's ok to send a copy of the passport ? Thanks!

...if I'm not mistaken, there is no forum on Shutterstock ? Thanks,

There is a forum on shutterstock; I'm not sure if you can post without being a contributor though. I recall some postings when the passport rule came into effect, but I don't know of any problems.
