My understanding is that of those four listed, only the

that was my understanding too, but it seems that the
DMV can indeed require it, at least here in California
(I can dig it up if you'd like, it's probably buried in
my privacy related doc);

I'd be interested in reading that. If it's online and you
can post a link, that'd be fine. Otherwise just visit my
website in my sig below to find my email.

ISTR, and I can't vouch for the accuracy of this, but I
had read somewhere there were only four entities where you
were required by law to give your SSN, and they weren't all
what you thought they'd be. I cannot remmeber what they all
were, obviously one is Social Security, and I think one was
to a member of congress (for some odd reason). The other two
were equally obscure. Military seems a logical choice. But
I seem to recall being surprised that the IRS was *NOT* on
the list.

Damn...now I'm curious again. I'll have to see if I can
google anything up on this. It may all just be poppycock,
though.
