For NC Driver's Issuance inquiries, you may use the individual's Social Security Number.

• A. The individual's Social Security Number may be used
• B. It may be used only with consent
• C. It cannot be used
• D. It may be used for residents only

Answer: (C)

Protecting sensitive personal information is the key idea. Social Security Numbers are highly restricted and agencies limit when they can be accessed or shared. For NC Driver’s Issuance inquiries, the process relies on identifying details like name and date of birth rather than the SSN. Using the full SSN would raise privacy and security concerns and isn’t permitted in routine issuance checks. That’s why the correct stance is that the SSN cannot be used in these inquiries. The other options either imply broader access, require consent in a context where the policy doesn’t permit it, or restrict use to residents only, which doesn’t fit how SSN access is handled for this context.
