Why is the applicant for a driver license or identification card required to provide a Social Security number but it does not appear on the driver license or identification card?
The Social Security number is only required to determine if a driver license has been issued, but is not required to be on the identification card. Effective February 7, 2006, federal law prohibits the display of a person’s social security number on the person’s driver license or identification card, commercial driver license or temporary instruction permit.
