<prompt> Human: Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but its started a family argument. My girlfriends mom is adamant that credit card companies would never ask for a photo ID, or a photo of her social security card for verification.Im pretty sure its legit because she signed up on the official Capital One website. Can you guys give us a clarification on whether this is the right move?  <response>: Discover did this to me when I set up a bank account with them because I had just moved, so none of my creditfinancial history showed my new address. They asked for the first page of my lease as well as a copy of my license, and I uploaded it to a special page and had to wait for their verification and fraud dept to ok it. I did call customer service from their website to verify and walk through everything though just to be on the safe side.
