In Washington State, the law regarding the requirement of a Social Security Number (SSN) for purchasing hunting and fishing licenses is outlined under both federal and state legislation. Specifically:

Federal Law: According to Title 42, Section 666, Paragraph 13, Section A of the U.S. Code, it is mandated that states collect SSNs for the purpose of child support collection enforcement.

State Law: This requirement is reinforced by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 77.32.014. This state law stipulates that individuals 15 years of age or older must provide their SSN in order to obtain a hunting or fishing license in Washington State.

This dual federal and state mandate applies to all individuals seeking to purchase hunting or fishing licenses in Washington, ensuring compliance with child support obligations.

Thanks Foldy!

I knew why it is required - to track “Deadbeat Parents” - however, none of the flunkies at DOL knew why. It’s also required for any other professional license, and driver’s licenses too, unless you are “undocumented”.
