Parent asking for too much information?

[torontokids]

I would not give the info either. I don't even give my SIN number at tax time but my BIN. I would tell them straight up that this information is personal/confidential and you are not comfortable providing it. There would be concerns of identity theft as well. I would inquire further and ask why they want it? Is it that they want police checks done? If this is the case I would offer to do this for them at their expense.
