And in some ways, the whole photocopy your passport thing is actually more annoying/concerning to me than the time, but certainly would just prefer to hit the ground running, no fuss no muss.

the privacy issues surrounding it worry me. In reality, what can some phone shop in Paris really do with my passport if I didn’t pay a bill? It’d be like 100 euros of debt MAX. I doubt consular agencies would care to get involved, and reporting me to some collections agency would result in a nearly impossible debt to enforce and certainly not be something that could withstand a credit report appeal.
aside from banning me from the company, realistically all they could do with my passport info is shady stuff, like selling it to scammers and the like to make my life hell. (I suppose this is sufficient deferent, in and of itself.)
