19. For me the issue is giving them my Social Security number.

I don't think you even need to give that to get a passport.

However, I got my very first one back in 1970, and have always just renewed and never had to fill out new paperwork, so maybe back then I did have to give my SS#. But somehow, I doubt that.

Heck, even the Medicare people have taken our SS# off our Medicare cards.

Again, if I only had to give it for a Real ID DL, I'd simply opt for the permission to drive version. But here in NM, they want it for either version of a DL.

My current DL is up for renewal in August. If I can renew it without submitting a SS#, I'll be very happy. Maybe by the time that one expires I'll be ready to give up driving altogether.
