Question: Did You Need Your Social Security Card To Get Hired?
Topic 25121 | Page 1
I just asked my last upgraded student and he didnt have a passport so he needed his birth certificate with a raised seal and his social security card.
my current student has a passport so that was accepted in lieu of.
All Schneider asked for was my SS number, I didn't have to present a card.
The thing that seemed to be a big deal to my Wisconsin DMV was to have a CERTIFIED, STAMPED copy of my birth certificate. I had to go get one (who knew records were even kept that long ago). Cost me a trip to Vital Records and $20. This was necessary to get my CDL issued.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I'm assuming it is to fill out the tax forms. I remember they accept documentation from several columns but I'm not sure what they are. I always used my passport even though it's expired.
I have a passport, and was told that would be all I needed to bring. However, I brought my passport, SS card, and raised seal birth certificate, just in case.
Oh, and I drive for Prime :)
Rainy, that's right. Now I remember that if I had a passport, I could have used that instead of the B.C.

I had to present my SocSec card in order to get my permit.
Thus far, I have not shown Roehl my card, but they list it to be taken to school. I imagine they will copy it into their system then.
Hi all,
I just passed yesterday afternoon at Prime Salt Lake City (trifecta bonus booyyyyyyy) and stupid me forgetting it was April Fool's day, was halfway in the cab to get my birth certificate, social security card, picture ID, and all credit cards before the examiner started laughing at me.
In the end all I needed was the birth certificate at the orientation, permit and driver's license for the exam portion. HOWEVER, I had all of the applicable forms of ID, TWIC card, W2s and as Rainy suggested, a few recent months worth of pay stubs. A walking identity theft victim, not a soul on the planet could have separated me from my back pack at any point in the airport. Never had to worry during training.
Side note, if you're from CA, there is a hiring freeze going on. Hopefully just a short term thing with the lease agreement issue in court.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
I have no idea where my card is, so I have always brought my passport and original birth certificate and never had any problems. Congratulations to Spaceman Spiff! (two more S’s)....

I have never had a job that did not ask for my Social Security card, including Prime. In todays day of sanctuary states, who knows.
So please list your company and whether you were asked.
