Is it normal for a new company you’re going to work for to ask for the offer letter of the company you work for right now to pay you the retention bonus on the letter because they don’t give sign on bonuses?

this seems excessive tbh

Not at all clear what you are asking. If you are trying to use an offer your current employer gave you to try and get you to stay, to increase the offer from the company where you would like to go, then no it is not unusual for them to ask you to prove it.

Tell them that you can't work there because they have trust issues. Run like the wind.

This legit makes no sense OP. Why would a new company pay you a retention bonus?

Why can’t they take your word for it? Also calling a sign on bonus retention bonus is weird when you haven’t even started

You are claiming that you are losing some retention bonus and they are offering to match that bonus. Asking to see it in writing seems reasonable.
