Sounds like you're in with cap1. Congrats.  I seriously doubt they'd ask for that info if you were going to be denied.

The thing is, the CSR made it sound like it was SOP.

Although I'm not 100% positive, I don't recall anyone who was aksed to send this kind of info being denied. I think you're good to go.

Good. Just give it some time. Trust me, I know how hard waiting is. What makes me able to wait is the fact that I have a few cards that I really do want down the line. (BOA and /or NFCU) These are worth sitting on my hands for. So relax, let your new accounts age, and remember your long term goals.

You are right, absolutley. I just hope I get it!

Ummmm, sounds weird to me.  I have two Cap 1 cards and have never had to send/fax that type of info.  Why did they need to see this info?  Sounds fishy.

Fishy? Why?

I have never heard of faxing a copy of your driver's license and your SS card to open a credit card.  Not even Bank of Delaware or other lower end card issuers ask for this.  Did you ask why they needed to see this info?

Even with an Amex FR you don't send your driver's license.

THAT'S why it sounds fishy.  This is your identity...ask questions.  Don't just send these things out.
