Or. Admin. R. 735-062-0006 - Real ID Requirements for Collection and Verification of SSN or Proof of Ineligibility for a SSN

(1) When an applicant who is eligible for an SSN applies for any first-time, renewal, or replacement Real ID, the applicant must provide to DMV the SSN assigned to the applicant by the SSA.

(2) An applicant who applies for a first-time, renewal, or replacement non-commercial Real ID and claims to be ineligible for an SSN must provide proof that the applicant is not eligible for an SSN. An applicant may prove ineligibility for an SSN by presenting documents issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security or other federal agencies, which demonstrate that the applicant is not eligible to be assigned an SSN by the SSA. The applicant must also certify that the applicant is ineligible for an SSN.

(3) DMV will not accept proof of ineligibility for an SSN from any applicant for a Real ID who presents proof of being a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States or proof of being legally present with authorization for employment in the United States.

(4) When an applicant provides an SSN as required by section (1) of this rule for a first-time or renewal Real ID, DMV will submit the SSN to the SSA for verification. An applicant's SSN is verified when SSA notifies DMV that the applicant's SSN, name and date of birth matches SSA's records.

(5) Notwithstanding section (4) of this rule, an SSN is not considered verified if the SSA notifies DMV that the SSN provided is inactive, invalid, impossible, not verifiable for other reasons or if there is a system error. DMV will not issue a Real ID to an applicant with an SSN that is not verified.

(6) An applicant for a replacement Real ID must provide their SSN or proof of ineligibility for SSN as required by sections (1) to (3) of this rule. If there has been any change to the applicant's SSN, DMV will submit the SSN to the SSA for verification as described in section (4) of this rule.
