3. Ah, no. You are NOT required to provide your SSN to anyone unless

the transaction you're entering into involves Federal taxes. And it's illegal for anyone to refuse you a service (such as a bank checking account that does not pay interest) if you refuse to provide your SSN.

PS: You don't need to prove citizenship to get a job; only legal residence. A Green Card works.

But none of this is the same, not even remotely, as being required by a cop from Bumfuck, Arizona (or anywhere else where you mght look suspicious if your skin is brown), to prove that you're really an American.

I'm only half white, as is my wife, so this matter is of some personal concern to me.
