Sounds kind of funny to me.
The local Saab dealer around here will not duplicate a Saab key without proof of ownership, proof of identity - in person, and the actual vehicle being present.
I once watched the Saab parts manager refuse to duplicate a key because the owner wasn't there - just his college-age son, a COPY of his Dad's driver's license, and the car. The kid called Dad on the phone, and handed the phone over to the parts manager, who explained that Dad would have to come down to the dealership himself and order the key in person.
Personally, I wouldn't show my driver's license to ANYONE I didn't trust. Too much risk of some kind of identity theft.
I don't think it's in any way possible to order a Saab key with just a VIN. When I was shopping for the various CPO Saabs in our family over the years, the owners were more than happy to supply the VINs so I could have Iris reports generated to check on the cars' histories.The VIN is a pretty trivial piece of info, standing alone...
