Driver's license number use?

[LastInLine]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO

An employment application asks for my DL number and state. The job does not require any kind of driving. Because of this, I don't want to give them this info unless it is required for them to do background checks (other than driving records). So is it needed for employment verification, credit report, civil suits or judgements, arrest records, paid tax liens or criminal records?

Thanks.

If the employer feels it is needed, then it is needed. You have two choices---either give it to them or look elsewhere for employment and stop being so paranoid.

What does having to provide a drivers license
on an application have to do with being free in America? Quit posting your garbage.

I would ask if they really need it for the position you are applying for. Unfortuantely when they tightened up the use of SSN's, the DL number has become another defacto identity standard especially for bank accounts. I am VERY VERY careful with who gets to see mine.

Thanks for the info Ron. Appreciate the logical advice, since it's much more helpful than the emotional (and useless) reply.

You don't have to provide it. They don't have to hire you or even consider hiring you.
