I once created an account at MtGox, but they wanted a photo of my ID etc. Is it the same practice at Bitstamp? It just feels like such a drag to provide it and get approved. The registration at Kapiton was much simpler. It would also be interesting to hear if you have to pay any bank transaction fees for depositing money at Bitstamp.

BTW, are there any more Swedish alternatives that you are aware of?
