Is it normal for GetTransfer.com carrier scheduled to taking me from Istanbul airport to ask me for fullname, nationality and passport number?

score:3

Accepted answer

I called another tourist company and told them that I was asked for all those information and that I am not comfortable with it.

I asked the if this was normal and if it was not normal I would cancel with gettransfer and book with them, so there was a huge incentive for them to tell me that it wasn't normal even if it was.

However they told me to not worry and that it's required by the government there.

It's still a weird requirement that I do not agree with at all, but at least it seems like a required legal procedure and the carrier company didn't come up with it.

I gave them the information and made sure to take the company and it's owner name.

The law enforces agencies to get your passport id and bunch of other information. #36 of the law describes it.In case of missing information, I think in any control point they will be punished by money.

However, The authorized person first fills the electronic ticket without passport information. The legally required information is filled in only after meeting the passenger and getting on the vehicle. Thus, due consideration is given to the sensitivity of the passenger.
