Can I collect debit card information from participants in Georgia? What are the requirements?

Debit Card Information Collection Requirements in Georgia

Based on the provided context documents, it is illegal to obtain or use financial transaction cards, including debit cards, with the intent to defraud the issuer or any other person ^[2.1]. However, there is no specific information regarding the collection of debit card information from participants in Georgia.

It is important to note that personal identification cards may be issued to residents of Georgia by the Department of Driver Services, which may include a recent photograph of the applicant and other personal information ^[1.1]. However, the department is prohibited from requiring an applicant to submit or obtain any fingerprints or other biological characteristics that uniquely identify an individual, including DNA and retinal scan identification characteristics ^[1.1].

Therefore, without further information regarding the specific circumstances and purpose of collecting debit card information, it is unclear whether it is legal to do so in Georgia. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional for further guidance.
