Is it normal for Italian car rental companies to ask for uncensored ID documents via WhatsApp?

I booked with a smaller Italian rental company and they asked me to send front/back photos of my driving licence and ID via WhatsApp before pickup for “registration on the police portal”.

At first I censored some personal information, but they replied saying the documents could not be registered like that and asked for uncensored versions.

Is this a typical process in Italy with smaller rental companies or should I be concerned?
