Norway. Requires identifying yourself using some official ID like national ID card, passport or drivers license[1].
If you for some reason can't provide valid ID, but the one collecting your vote knows you, that person can vouch for your identity[2]. For example if you're an inmate, one of the prison guards can vouch for you.
