Requirements for Collecting Driver’s License Numbers in Oregon

In Oregon, collecting driver’s license numbers from participants is subject to certain requirements. According to the Oregon Revised Statutes ^[12], it is illegal to disclose an individual’s driver’s license number unless it is for a purpose authorized by law.

If you are collecting driver’s license numbers for a lawful purpose, you must ensure that you have obtained the individual’s consent to collect and use their driver’s license number. Additionally, you must take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of the information collected.

The Oregon Administrative Rules provide further guidance on the collection and use of driver’s license numbers. Specifically, the Department of Transportation, Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division ^[6] has established rules governing the collection and use of driver’s license numbers by private entities. These rules require that private entities obtain written consent from individuals before collecting their driver’s license numbers, and that they take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of the information collected.

Additionally, you must take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of the information collected.
