I don't think Merc does any sort of verification. You just need the VIN - at least that's how it was a few years ago.
Someone in OK has the same name as me, and keeps giving my email address as theirs. They apparently bought a new Merc, because I got a congratulatory email from Merc that included their VIN. For fun, I thought I would see if I could register and connect to the car...and I did. Never did anything nefarious, but the Mercedes app had full access to the car.
