How is that evidence? Birthday isn't included and it notes,

> "Note: Residence address and SSN are confidential except when the requester is authorized by law to receive it."


>The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) maintains information on approximately 32 million vehicles/vessels registration (VR), 27 million driver licenses (DL) and/or identification (ID) cards, and over 437,000 occupational licensing (OL) records.

>Confidential information is not considered public record. This includes certain DMV personnel matters, physical/mental information, residence address, social security number (SSN), incomplete findings from research, results of ongoing investigations, operation plans, and electronic data security controls.

DOB is listed on ID and not considered confidential information.


> DOB is listed on ID and not considered confidential information.

Nowhere does it say that. If you think they mean that by omission, I highly doubt it.


Considering it's listed as public record in the first place, I doubt it. I was just directly attacking your claim.


Birthday is not public record, and there is no evidence that it is. That's the point. There's no government entity that will give you a list of people's names and dates of birth.

You cited California DMV which does not give up that information. They won't even give you someone's address unless you're legally entitled, like the police.
