Have you noticed how your driver’s license is being swiped at the bank for “any transaction” and also at the doctor’s office. Could that be part of this?
In Utah, they also swipe your DL when you enter a bar or order alcohol at a restaurant. Then, they have the info about what and how much you had to drink, if the police pull you over or you’re in an accident.
Never heard of your driver’s license being swiped at the bank. They did it to me at Best Buy for an exchange and I ripped the clerk a new one.
Haven't had to produce my D/L at the bank, but I mainly use ATMs anyway.
The doctor's office has required it lately. I figured it was for the upcoming death panels.
Wells Fargo won’t let you cash a check on their own customers’ accounts without giving a finger print. Don’t know if all Wells Fargos do that but the one here does. BTW, I will NEVER do business with them.
On a recent phone call with my credit card company, they wanted to verify my home phone number which they knew because they had called a few minutes prior to me calling them back on their published number. Then they asked for my cell number. I told them I didn’t have one. As if name, address, home phone, SS#, your extra special secret answer to some dumb question, and card number (I’m sure I forgot one or two other “verifications”) weren’t enough.
I purchased Pepsi a way back at Target. The clerk wanted to scan my DL. I told her no way. I then called my local Police and asked what was encoded on the strip on the back of my DL. He couldn’t tell me.
Noticed @dr’s office. Thought it was to prevent theft of services from MY insurance company. Maybe it is just a precusor to 0-care.

I did several large transactions recently and that didn’t happen to me. Maybe it’s a state thing-—I’m in MA.
.
Even if you have an account at the bank? And if you tell them you don’t have it on you, do they refuse to complete the transaction?
My bank isn’t asking for a DL. The fact that I have an account at that bank should be good enough for them.
