SG Ammo is my preferred online ammo source but I always check Ammotogo and I’ve bought thousands of dollars of ammo from them over the last decade. I went to buy some ammo tonight though and was told I’d have to verify my age by taking a picture of my DL.

No thanks. Not only am I not interested in sending a copy of my DL to them but since I ship everything to a mail center my shipping address doesn’t match my home address so they would probably deny it anyway. That’s a shame because I’ve always liked their service and selection.

SG ammo and a few other companies had me do that initially as well.

Not that uncommon.

SG ammo was my go to, but their prices have been 20-30% higher lately.

Sg Ammo asked me for mine as well ^

Interesting, I never did for SG Ammo. I only recall one website ever asking and I refused that too, but that was a much smaller site I’d never heard of before that I’ve never used again.

They definitely made me do that (I think via email, it's been nigh on a decade since then).

I don't recall SG Ammo doing that, and I've ordered a metric buttload of ammo from them over the years. Maybe they did and I just don't recall.

I do know AIM Surplus used to require you to upload a copy of your ID at one point (early/mid-2010s IIRC), but no longer does.

I responded to one such demand by telling them that "They took my DL away after the incident."

I sent them a copy of my passport card. It shows photo and birth date, but no address or other information.

I bought a can of 30-06 from them and uploaded a picture. A while later they were hacked and FFL and DL copies were downloaded. I knew I should have covered my license number but did not. I still haven't opened that can yet either.
Never again.

I thought you would've given them your social security number, "000-00-0003. Damn you Roosevelt and Burns!!!"

Eff them ... NEVER would I send a copy of my DL to anyone online.
They can send requiring an adult signature if need be.
Years ago I placed a nice order for 308 Match Ammo that was for sale by and on another "sniperish" type of forum - they asked - I said NO and canceled.
NEVER NEVER NEVER

ATG *used* to be great but I think they were sold a while back and are no longer even a consideration for me, they were absolutely RAPING people during worst of the riots/Covid lockdown panic days and I will not give people like that a single thin dime.

I was not aware of that.

Given some of the comments here (and I know this is thread drift), what online ammo sellers are now preferred?

I have used SG Ammo a lot and am a very satisfied customer. Ammo Fast is another site I have used a lot, though not recently.
