I’m not sure what current SS cards look like, but mine says “not to be used for identification.”

I believe in 1997 Congress amended the law by which states would lose funding if they didn’t verify and collect SS#s through the driver’s license process. The justification at the time was for enforcement of child support from deadbeat dads.

Yep - no picture. Of course, a birth certificate has the same "problem". Besides, we know from a "prominent politician" that all is bogus in the end.
