Requirements for Collecting Driver’s License Numbers in Indiana
In Indiana, collecting driver’s license numbers from participants is allowed under certain circumstances. However, there are requirements that must be followed to ensure compliance with state law.
According to Indiana Code 6-1.1-32-5, any person or entity that collects driver’s license numbers must take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of the information and prevent its unauthorized disclosure. Additionally, the person or entity must have a legitimate business need for collecting the information.
Furthermore, Indiana Code 9-24-16-3 prohibits the sale or release of driver’s license numbers except in certain circumstances, such as for law enforcement purposes or with the individual’s written consent.
Therefore, if you plan to collect driver’s license numbers from participants in Indiana, you must ensure that you have a legitimate business need for the information and take appropriate measures to protect its confidentiality. You must also obtain written consent from the individuals or only use the information for law enforcement purposes.
Note: This response is based on the assumption that the driver’s license numbers are being collected for a non-law enforcement purpose. If the purpose is for law enforcement, additional requirements may apply.
