Yeah im just paranoid

This is a list of the info they will have :

Full Name
Home Address
Social Security
Phone Number

With license

Drivers License ID
Date of Birth

As of recent if you got a new license

A Digital Signature at the bottom right corner

Easy access to learning how to rewriting your name

My own mother doesnt even have all of this info so why would I hand it over to a big company who im not sure have control over all of there workers. There are sponsor companies out there who fire people everyday and all it would take is for one person to get that information and sell it to someone out there. I have a problem even giving my SS let alone the rest of the info.

So in short I will stick to my checks thank you very much

If you are using a SSN, any program with it could steal your identity right now. Most people that ask for a driver's license number just use it for your security when there is a problem. I have 6 credit cards now. All with phoney driver's license numbers Really because I have everything else memorized and I don't want to pull out my license.
