We did use to do identity card verification. The issue that we had was that we often didn't have a lot of information about the folks who opened free accounts.

Often names would be pseudonyms or match only partially with their ID. Not to mention, of course, the difficulty of verifying the authenticity of IDs from all over the world.

We wrote about this back in 2018: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/10/08/enforcing-managing-...
