Re: Use of Partial SSN as Authenticator

Here in VA, DL #'s aren't SSNs so I suppose it's a
little safer.

VA is not known to be a state that encodes its DL numbers, at least not publicly known.

But if you consider using DL #s in any way, be sure you are not from a state that encodes its DL numbers by way of 
biological stats.

google "driver license soundex"
