A. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER PRIVACY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Providing your Social Security Number to the Division is not mandatory. You may legally refuse to comply with this request. Whether you agree to disclose your Social Security Number is entirely a voluntary decision.
The Division is charged with the responsibility of determining whether you are "fit" before it is able to grant you the authority being requested through the instant application. The basis of this requirement is contained in the following Sections of the R.I. Gen. Laws: §§ 39-1-1, 39-1-15, 39-1-38, 39-3-2, 39-12-4, 39-12-5, 39-12-7, 39-12-32, 39-13-2, 39-14 - 2, 39-14-4.1, 39-14-12, 39-14-14, 39-14-20, 39-14.1-3 and 39-14.1-8.
The Division has requested that you provide it with your Social Security Number so that it may better evaluate your "fitness" with regard to the regulatory authority you seek. The "fitness" evaluation includes a criminal background and a legal residency investigation. The Division may also employ other means to conduct the fitness evaluation. Providing your Social Security Number to the Division will help expedite the evaluation process.
Your Social Security Number will also be used as a unique internal identifying number.
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION.
