@Auringon_sikio@mementomori.social This probably makes me a ”reply guy”, but… I don’t get it. What is so scary in emailing photos of passports to somebody who isn’t some random scammer but a proper business that needs them in order to handle your claim?
When you travel, you let random hotel staff (in countries where the law says they have to) scan your passport. Or do you refuse, and still manage to get a room?

@tml@mementomori.social It’s a valid point you have there, and, to be honest, if they had told me that sending the documents by email is the only way, then that’s what I would’ve gone with.
When it comes to handling sensitive information such as personal identifiers, my policy is: “err on the safe side first, think later if necessary”. In this case, if I had foreseen the delays and nuisance, I probably would’ve done otherwise. However, I dont’t think it was unreasonable to trust in their promise of providing an alternative way.
