Godaddy asking a copy for license ID/passport? Should I give it to them?

Godaddy is asking for a copy of license ID/passport, should I give it them, even though, the exact info does not match the gift card I purchased with (please see below).

what happened was I accidently misspelled a domain name, then got a refund after I called them and then they asked me for a copy of Id just because of that. But I didn't give them the first time around since I thought they might forget it but with 2 days they also refunded all my other domain purchase that I purchased with the other domain, so this time I must provide them with the ID copy.

This is urgent, since I do not want to lose all my 10 accounts (with 50 domain names) I created with godaddy with all the same info!:

I am not worry about the address but the incorrect spelling of the first and last name because both are missing one alphabet in each of them! For example, the name Bobby is missing the middle alphabet B, and the last name, rodriguez is missing the alphabet E.

Therefore, I am worried that because of the incorrect spelling, they won't unblock my account, and cancel everything!!! So, If anyone had an experience like this, please let me know how should I carry this out!

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Also, I have more accounts with similar details. So, do you think they can find out my other account and cancel them as well (they were registered within a month) if i send them the copy of ID?

So please help me about what I should do!

    But THE PROBLEM IS the street address is different then i have on my ID (same zip code, city and state) and I did put the whole correct spelling for my name (just didn't put one alphabet in the middle for first and last name but you can tell easily, without a second, that not putting one alphabet does not matter).

    I registered as personal information not business information and registered just 4-6 days ago.

    SO should I send them the copy of ID and hope for the best or DOES ANYONE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE and can tell me what I can do about it: just let it go and registere with another account and another credit card (that will take a month since the domain won't be availabe after a month)?

    Also, I have more accounts with similar details. So, do you think they can find out my other account and cancel them as well (they were registered within a month) if i send them the copy of ID?

    They ARE required, by law, at least for US, COM, NET, ORG domains to periodically validate contact info. If your info is SLIGHTLY wrong they may let it slide. If they believe the info to be wrong, they are required to delete them. ICANN got TIRED of too many domains registered to daffy duck and mickey mouse! SERIOUSLY!!!!!! USUALLY, they are OK with checking the CC details, and email, but I guess the refund made them think they should go deeper.

    And NO, they can't find your other accounts! It is only like WHAT, 1929!?!?!? Computers haven't even been invented yet! But PLEASE, PLEASE, don't tell my little Micro that! Funny thing, IT thinks it is 2009!!!!

      Never mind! I cancelled the account and just buy the domain from some where else, since I am not in a rush to keep it and no one else will buy the domain name. Thanks for all your help regarding this message.
