My prospective insurance company (GEICO) needs my old driver’s license number in order to run a records check. When I got my New York license, I had to surrender my old license, number and all. According to the Ohio BMV, the only way to get my old driver’s license number is to run a records check. But in order to run the records check, I must provide my driver’s license number.
This paradox is brought to you by the Federal Drivers Privacy Act enacted 13 SEP 1997. Yay for privacy acts and government bureaucracy!
