Just out of curiosity: Why should a remote presenter provide a passport?
 That seems to me like a weird requirement to me, and possibly even hard
to enforce (unless there's someone watching a video stream and checking
if they have a copy of the passport for that person?). And, if the
person is not traveling anyway, he/she might not even have a passport in
the first place.

(yes, I understand you're just the messenger :-) )
