How can someone get my name and address from my drivers license number? Doesn’t the FPA and DPPA prevent this? Are there really websites to get this info? I dont understand.

By entering your number, I can get a copy of your licence and all the info in it including, DOB, weight, hight, birth-date, birthplace, list of creditors, credit history, work history, criminal record, address history, etc

I believe there are a lot of sites that offer background checks. It’s so easy with all the cross-referencing, Go online and get yours…see how easy it is and exACTly what you receive.

CitiCredit. I run checks on prospective tenants, by entering a DL# or a SS# or a state issued ID# (I only need one) I get about 8–10 pages of details including:

Entire legal name, aliases, spouses, nick-names
current address and all addresses for the last 20 years
all employers for the last 20 years
all creditors for the last 10 years, including balances, high credit limit, payment history
complete criminal record from birth to current, even traffic tickets
all court actions, even if you were found innocent, even if charges were dropped
Any lawsuits you were part of, and the settlement
evictions, including why and judgement
any jail time, even if it was only to cool off or sober up
complete military record
applications for workers comp and any award given
applications for disability, and current status
applications for retirement, and current status
and tons of less important stuff
