Is that an EU thing? In the US you can buy as many $500 visa cards as you want at any grocery store with no ID. You may need a manager's override if you're buying over $10,000 but that's just to verify that you're not falling for a gift card scam.

Converting >$10k from card to cash on the other hand often requires an ID

Canada requires retaining a record of the ID used to buy the prepaid credit cards, too.
