Can I collect driver's license numbers from participants in North Carolina? What are the requirements?

Collecting Driver’s License Numbers in North Carolina

In North Carolina, collecting driver’s license numbers from participants may be allowed in certain circumstances, but there are requirements that must be followed.

According to NCGS Chapter 20, Article 2C, Section 20-9(g), it is permissible to collect driver’s license numbers for the purpose of identifying individuals who hold a commercial driver’s license. However, this section does not apply to non-commercial driver’s licenses.

Additionally, the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 19A, Chapter 3, Section .0502, requires that any entity collecting driver’s license numbers must have a privacy policy that outlines how the information will be used and protected.

Therefore, if you are collecting driver’s license numbers from participants in North Carolina, you must ensure that you are only collecting commercial driver’s license numbers, and that you have a privacy policy in place that complies with the North Carolina Administrative Code.
