If you need to buy Sudafed in a pharmacy you need a drivers license, and I believe they record the information somehow. Presumably online alcohol or marijuana sales would also require some retained evidence that a dl was presented. Maybe car insurance too.

Sudafed in the US is an odd exception in that it's regulated but doesn't require a prescription. In comparison you can pick up an opiate prescription without ID (or at least I was able to several years ago).

Why? Is that required for in person purchases where you are? I thought violations were typically caught with sting operations. I don't see why online should be any different.

Why? I guess the provider could choose to for due diligence if they felt there might be fraud. But I'm struggling to come up with any realistic scenarios. For what it's worth I've never once been asked for any official documentation in order to purchase car insurance. Simply provided information over the phone and received documents in the mail a few days later.
