It is supposed to, but the law is simply never enforced.  EVERYBODY DEMANDS
it - opening a business account at the bank, getting a drivers license etc.
Quite illegal, but the law is simply ignored.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] SSN Question

In Canada, it is illegal to use SINs (our equivalent of SSNs) for any
purpose save Revenue Canada reporting. IOW, it is illegal to use a SIN as
the PK of some table. Does the same hold true in the USA?

TIA,
Arthur
