I thought we use a passport or drivers license for identification?


Yes, but no.

Most folks don't have passports. Children do not have drivers licenses or state ID's. Some places want more than one form of ID and some require a SS#, though you don't always need the card.


Ideally we do! In my experience there are quite a few services that will take the SSN without requesting photo id at all. For instance: cash app.
