In regard to the DL, KS has switched almost everyone over to a generated DL#, no more using your SSN. This was becasue you can go to the records custodian for accident and criminal reports and get more information than the DL has. Your name, address, birthdate, height, weight, and driving restrictions are public record. That's most of what is on your DL (in KS). You usually have to pay a fee for any records you want.
Also, in KS, you can get the information of any victim of any crime that is reported and a State report filled out. Only the suspect information and the brief synopsis of what happened are private. Victim information available includes everything on the DL, phone numbers, place of work and any related injuries or property involved.
I gave the man the option of giving me his DL or I would have the local LE do it for me. He chose to give me his DL.
