“I’m already annoyed that several states require a social security number for a fishing license.”
Washington State tried that. I got into a hell of an argument with a store clerk over it. He insisted the state needed it for identification. I showed him on my SS card where it plainly stated, “Not to be used for identification”. Tried to explain to him that Federal trumps State, all to no avail. Finally told him I guessed I’d fish without a license that year and I did.
Nothing about SS is on the current licenses as far as I know.
Do they demand photo ID to ensure all the info matches? (I’ve never applied for a fishing/hunting permit, so wouldn’t know.)
I thought it was all about the fee collected, not the detailed identity info.
