I decided to stop giving out my SSN for a year as an experiment to test how much liberty remains in this country. So far my employer has stripped me of all medical and dental benefits and the local DMV has refused to renew my license.
That answered my question.
My Medical Insurance ID number IS my SSN. So much for declining to tell my doctors my Social Security number. Last year, I took my dog to a vet who requested my SSN. A VET! I politely said "nunya bidness."

Liberty simply takes a few extra steps (sounds strange, I suppose).
So you don't want to have or give out an SS#?
No problem. For your driver's license, you need to take your passport (no SS# needed to leave and enter our country) to an international destination and follow their rules for getting an International Driver's License.
Then you need to incorporate, then use that corporate Tax-id number to get your health insurance, banking accounts, stock-trading accounts, telephone, utilities, house, car, et al.
