Can I collect driver's license numbers from participants in West Virginia? What are the requirements?
Based on the West Virginia Code, it is legal to collect driver’s license numbers from participants in West Virginia under certain circumstances.
According to the West Virginia Code Chapter 17E, Article 1, individuals who operate commercial motor vehicles are required to have a commercial driver’s license (CDL). The code also outlines the requirements for obtaining a CDL, including providing personal information such as name, address, and driver’s license number [9].
However, it is important to note that the West Virginia Driver License Compact, outlined in Chapter 17B, Article 1A, allows for the sharing of driver’s license information between participating states for certain purposes, including law enforcement and driver’s license issuance [10].
Therefore, if you are collecting driver’s license numbers for a purpose that falls within the guidelines of the Driver License Compact, it may be legal to do so. However, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are following all applicable laws and regulations.
In summary, it may be legal to collect driver’s license numbers from participants in West Virginia under certain circumstances, such as for obtaining a CDL or for purposes outlined in the Driver License Compact. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
