Guidance for using a driver’s CDL number and state of issuance in the Clearinghouse

Q&A

What identifying number should be documented for drivers in the Clearinghouse?

Guidance:

The current paper versions of the CCF and ATF specifically permit the use of either the driver’s social security number (SSN) or an employee identification number (EIN). However, under § 382.705, the driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) number and the state of issuance must be used in place of the SSN or EIN when reporting to the Clearinghouse.
