Domain registrars ask a bit too much info, right? (mander.xyz)

I am in the EU and wanted to buy my first domain here. I wanted to play around with making a website, hosting etc.

So I went to sites like Netim, namecheap, and porkbun. I found that they ask for my name, phone number, and address.

I'm not sure if I can make crap up there and register. I am using a temporary digital /virtual card, so I won't have too much trouble on that front.

I found that they ask for my name, phone number, and address.

Are all of these required fields?

Yes. All of them!
