Re: Providing your social security number for a buisness service.

By federal law banks, MVD's, social security and the IRS are entitled to demand your SSN and to withhold services or impose penalities if you refuse.

Others may ask for your SSN but they may not withhold services or benefits if you decline. There is no penalty for asking.

All will give you fits about the number because everyone uses it. If you stand your ground they will usually yield.
