You don’t have to be in the EU to make a GDPR request, right? If I understand correctly, they can’t actually check.

They do know which country you're from unless you use a VPN all the time, tho I personally wouldn't lie (fake my IP) for something as serious as this.

They would know what country I’m currently in, but I could still be an EU citizen using a VPN or traveling outside the EU. IANAL, but I’m pretty sure my data would still be protected by GDPR.

Granted, I am not, but the request worked anyway lol

They could check, but that's more expensive than just compying
