Why is Facebook asking for a government id?
Yesterday I tried to log in it was asking for my name, birthday,email. I did that and Facebook told me to wait for a email so I did and then it asked me for my government Id. Is this real or a scam

Is it really Facebook, not some other site, you might have went to. Is it by accident you might of type one letter to many or left a letter out, and you went to a Facebook look alike site or a fake Facebook site. That do happen when people type a little too fast and nor really look. Since they know the web address to it.
I don't think someone has hacked into Facebook and did all that asking for all those stuff from members, or it would have been on the news. |

it's real - it's how facebook makes sure that you arent breaking the rules by creating more than one account, using a fake name, or lying about your age
it happens when they detect multiple account usage from the same computer/phone, or when someone reports your profile for being fake |
