Requirements for collecting social security numbers in Nevada

According to NVRS 695J.170, an application for a certificate as an exchange enrollment facilitator must include the social security number of the applicant. Additionally, NRS 483.290 requires every applicant for a driver’s license or instruction permit who has been assigned a social security number to furnish proof of their social security number by displaying an original card issued by the Social Security Administration bearing the social security number of the applicant or other proof acceptable to the Department, including, without limitation, records of employment or federal income tax returns. Furthermore, every application for an identification card must include the applicant’s social security number, and the applicant must provide an original card issued by the Social Security Administration bearing the social security number of the applicant or other proof acceptable to the Department ^[2.1].

Limitations on collecting social security numbers in Nevada

It is important to note that the collection of social security numbers is subject to certain limitations. For example, the requirement to include a social security number in an application for a certificate as an exchange enrollment facilitator is only effective until the date of the repeal of 42 U.S.C. § 666, the federal law requiring each state to establish procedures for withholding, suspending and restricting the professional, occupational and recreational licenses for child support arrearages and for noncompliance with certain processes relating to paternity or child support proceedings. Additionally, NRS 483.290 prohibits the Department from accepting a consular identification card as proof of the age or identity of an applicant for an instruction permit or for a driver’s license.

Therefore, you can collect social security numbers from participants in Nevada under certain circumstances, such as when applying for a certificate as an exchange enrollment facilitator, a driver’s license or instruction permit, or an identification card. However, it is important to be aware of the limitations and requirements outlined in the relevant statutes ^[2.1].
