Can anyone get my social security number from my driving record?
Social Security Number Privacy
Not, not just anyone can get your social security number from a driving record. Federal law restricts who can access private information on a driving record, and social security numbers are generally only available in certain cases, such as through courts, governmental agencies, or licensed private detectives.The Old Days
There was a day when just about anyone could access all kinds of personal information on your driving record. But after a number of tragic, high-profile stalking cases and a great deal of pressure from privacy advocates, federal and state laws were enacted to prevent highly sensitive information on a driving record from being accessed by just anyone.Indeed, Social Security numbers are some of the highly sensitive information contained on a driving record, in addition to:
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Photos
- Disability status
- Age
Obviously, your Social Security number is quite sensitive information since someone accessing it can cause you all kinds of financial and legal trouble. Therefore, privacy laws today restrict who can access your Social Security number on a driving record. The courts are able to obtain this information, as can a governmental agency or licensed private detectives.
