Wouldn't be a bad thing! I guess what I mean is at least two or three pieces of information such as name, address, phone number, and description, along with an online search to verify that name = that address = that phone number, and make sure that he really is available at that number/address. You can check a phone number by calling him obviously, and you can check an address by sending a note/card to him in the mail with the next meeting place printed on it...if he doesn't live where he said he did (or doesn't have a connection to that place) he won't (be able to) show up

Most people's email addresses are tied to 'r/l' names of one kind or another. Suffice to say that the name on the email address in question should match the other info you have.

Make/model/license plate number on his car are other you can get pretty easily without having to ask him to dig his license out of his wallet and follow you to the local Kinko's (cuz I know you want to get on with following him to the local Kinky's instead :P ) I'm sure nobody wants to scare you off your new thing, and most likely he will not be a predator (of the kind you don't want anyhow) but there -are- bad people out there, and bad things -do- happen to good people who aren't careful.

Remember you can (and most likely should) always ask this Dom what identification information he can provide to you for you to leave with a friend for safety's sake. If he gets super-defensive, or tries to put you down as "not a real sub" or says you are "killing the mood" or anything like that, he's trouble. This is one thing in the relationship you -can't- let yourself get bullied about.
