Obviously, foreigners just living or visiting here will not have our strictly local names (thinking otherwise is what would be "silly"). Locals (people with my nationality, so either natural or naturalized citizens) will (*).

(*) I read up on it though, and it seems like exceptions can be requested and allowed, if it's "well supported". Kinda sours the whole thing unfortunately.

Checked this too (well, using Copilot), it does appear to be illegal in most contexts, although not all.

But then, why would you want to perform name verification specific to my culture? One example I can think of is limiting abuse on social media sites for example. I vaguely recall Facebook being required to do such a thing like a decade ago (although they definitely did not go about it this way clearly).
