Ok bear with me

I'm organising my sister's hen do and it's abroad (she wanted it to be, I know hens are hotly debated on MN)

I have gotspecial rates for groups etc. Collected all monies and now just need to confirm passenger details on airline website

Now I know not everyone travels regularly so asked for a picture of people's passport into when I booked flights in march

Had all info except one girl. My sister's best friend from America.

She seemed to be dragging her heels giving me info in dribs and drabs anyway, such as just dob when I said need full info, plus I don't know her middle names/how they're spelt.

Tonight when I chase her (data HAS TO BE added by tomorrow or they COULD cancel our seats, not that I think they will but don't want to risk it) as I have to enter all passenger info in one go, she says she's sent me all the detail and doesn't want to send picture of the page

I said if it's the pic she's worried about she can hide it, but I want to be 100% all the details are correct and I won't show anyone, and she said she doesn't 'want it out there' then proceeded to tell ME to stop being difficult

Aibu?
Or are us passports special or something? (Or she's just a pain I'm the arse? !)

Passport information is pretty much the same as banking information. It's highly personal. I wouldn't give someone a copy of my page.

Where I live, it's normal for a woman to call her female friends " girls " . It doesn't imply they are young or younger than the speaker .

It's pretty usual to call other women 'girls'. My mum of 78 frequently talks about going out with the girls.

She's being a PITA by not giving you the info you need; you're being a PITA by insisting on a copy of her passport.
