As you have all become "verified members" of MtGox you must ask yourself why they would need to verify your identity with a photo ID and personal bill of some sort.  They will tell you they are verifying your information to avoid fraud, which is complete bull shit.  They know your name, your appearance, and your home address.  To whom do you think they sell this information?  MtGox is paid by the US government for all user information and transaction information.  The Feds are able to track high volume transactions for illegal activity.  They are paying MtGox a large sum of $ for this information.  Think I sound like a paranoid crazy?  I've had 3 associates who frequently use MtGox and SR receive calls from the ATF.  I have no idea if there is a viable alternative, but I would highly recommend not using MtGox if you are using SR.
