Do you require social security#or drivers license# on application

[Steve S.]

My standard form asks for this information, but on more than one occasion, i've been asked by prospective tenants if they have to provide it before they are selected in the event they provide it and then later are rejected (or someone else is chosen)?

What do you usually do?

I use a separate website for performing a criminal and credit and eviction background check as well, which to me, has me covered, but curious how others handle it.
