I looked around for The Netherlands and I found no such requirement for Pre-paid SIM cards.
Are you confusing the ones with a contract where naturally the actual mobile company wants to make sure you are who you say you are with it being a general rule for all SIMs? Can you point me at the source of that information (in Dutch would be fine, even in German I can probably read it)?
Yes, I may be thinking of a contract in the Netherlands. They may still be among a few countries allowing prepaid SIMs without registration. But I’m not sure.
In Germany, it’s an anti-terrorist precaution. Criminals love anonymous prepaid SIMs.
You do need ID in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain now. I think it’s the same in most EU countries. Same thing. Anti-terrorism.

I see…
Wouldn’t they solve this by adding a level of indirection? Like offering to pay some schlub cash with a nice margin to buy several prepaids for them?
