Rule 31-1-4.1 - Visually Checking Social Security Cards

1. Before final approval of the DL-4 (and/or DL-41) for a Mississippi learner's permit, you must require the applicant to SHOW his/her Social Security card. The Social Security Number should be verified through the Social Security Search Inquiry. When satisfied that the correct number is on the application, the examiner will write "OK" and his badge number just above the Social Security Number.

2. If the applicant has lost his Social Security card, the examiner may accept the Social Security Numbers displayed on the following documents:

3. If the applicant has presented a computer printout from the Social Security Administration, the examiner must use the Social Security Search Inquiry to verify the Social Security Number to match the name and date of birth of the applicant.

4. Never under any circumstances should a Social Security Number be entered in the Social Security field that is not the applicant's Social Security Number. If there is a case where a Social Security Number is already in use by another person, you will need to contact the driver license fraud unit and driver records before any document can be issued.

5. Verification of an applicant's Social Security Number with the Social Security Administration shall be used at any time concerning the validity of any applicant's Social Security Number.

6. All applicants applying for an original ID card or license shall be checked using the Social Security Search Inquiry.
