 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Millions of motorists across the nation are carrying around driver's licenses containing their Social Security numbers — a potential jackpot for identity thieves.
Privacy experts strongly warn against the practice. And a recent federal law ordered states to stop issuing licenses displaying Social Security numbers.
Yet some states continue to do so, a review by The Associated Press has found. And in other states that have dropped the practice, it could take up to eight years before people who have licenses with Social Security numbers on them are issued new ones.
