It could especially in the case of a different suffix. It is wrong and with the current security issues it should certainly be fixed.



I've never heard of a police officer asking for an SSN when they have your license.

Apparently it's common and the National Motorists Association wrote an article about it. [Link to motorists.org removed]

However, in over three and a half decades as a licensed driver, I have been pulled over somewhere between 15-20 times and have never once been asked about my social security number.
I agree - except that in my nearly three and a half decades as a licensed driver, I've only been pulled over 3 times (and of which one the cop got it wrong).
Slow down ;)

The internet is replete with comments from people being asked by a police officer for a SSN during a traffic stop.

Not a commerical link. Reputable newspaper website. Recent story about poilce department routinely asking for SSN during traffic stop when drivers also had driver's license.

That story just shows how unusual it is. It also states they aren't using the SSN for identity purposes but as a method of filing.

If I ever get pulled over their I won't be giving them my SSN.

Correct.

I don't really understand the question. At some point, the question will come up whether CAR2 can convey good title, and any disparity between her birth certificate and a driver's license isn't going to have any relevance to that.



Prove it to whom?



No.



No one here can intelligently predict what a hypothetical police officer will or won't believe in a hypothetical scenario that hasn't been described thoroughly. However, in over three and a half decades as a licensed driver, I have been pulled over somewhere between 15-20 times and have never once been asked about my social security number. Even if I had been asked, my response either would have been no or to recite the number from memory because I have almost never carried my social security card on my person outside my home.

Howzabout you explain the purpose of all of these random questions? Do you have an actual legal issue that you're dealing with?


Thank you for the informative reply. Is a birth certificate and SSN supreme compared to other documents at establishing identity?

Establishing identity for what?

P.S. Don't ask questions in the middle of someone else's thread. If you want to know about the rules ask them in your own thread.

And to answer that question it depends on the context and the link. If someone has asked a question about where to find a lawyer and you reply with johnsmithlawyer.com it will likely be deleted. Pretty much any .com site that's main goal is selling something is going to get deleted.

Identity in proving your name on a deed.

Now it's just the same question being asked in the hopes of getting a different answer...
