Is this legit?

[Erin8115]

The listing only has one review and when I asked about it they said it was because it was “new”. They sent me an email to a website that required basic info about all the guests (fine) but then requires me to upload my drivers license. Is that normal? 

Hi Erin, thank you for booking.

Hello @Erin8115, yes, in many countries hosts are required by law to collect personal information from guests (incliding ID details) for mandatory guest registration.

Kind regards.

Elena.

@Erin8115 I require IDs from all of my guests however I would be weary on clicking any links, particularly if it is a new host. I would upload it through the airbnb messaging system. For the same reason, I am not going to click on the link you have provided. You an also research the above website on line yourself.
