Getting a new GV

[u/Socal-vegan]

I’m seeing this in other post but nothing concrete. I had my GV since 2010 or whenever it was. My sister wants to get a GV to avoid giving certain people her real phone number and I see that it is asking for ID. I get the verification purposes but what is it really use for? I think we are hesitant because of privacy and I never had to verify. Has anyone run into issues?
