Hi,
I think it's both for insurance during the event (attention: NOT travel
insurance) and verifying attendees is the real one who paid and registered.
I am calling my friend who works for an insurance company to see if the
passport number is necessary for insurance or not.

Hi,
Some people might already have their own travel insurence. (In NL it is
not very extrordinary to have an travel insurence for the whole year, as
soon as you go on vacation to abroad Europe, that is already cheaper then
two weeks temp. insurence). I don't know how that is in other countries, but
might that reduce some costs for you? (Maybe would a reduction in the
application be possible?)

Regards,
What does my passport number have to do with your insurance?
If you insist on having the number on line I can always
invent a number.

It's the insurance for wikimedians who want to join Wikimania when
he/she is
in Taipei. Of cause you can use a fake / invented number but you will
not
get the insurance from the insurance company if there is something
unexpected happen when you are in Taipei.
We will apply the travel insurance for every wikimedian or anyone who
registered to join Wikimania. And the passport / National ID is the
requirement from the insurance company in Taiwan (maybe in other
countries /
regions also?)
Travel Insurance (information only, the actual insurance content might
be
offered differently from our insurance company):

I will ask the Taipei team to see if we can put more details on the
insurance on the Wikimania site.
Hope this helps.
H.T.
