    Not sure the big Deal. My birth certificate has E for my middle name but my DD214, SS card, pilots license has A for my middle name. My drivers license, bank account I have signed including my mortgage has E for middle name. Go Figure?:biggrin_2556: Government screwed up.

    People have been caught driving big trucks with someone else's CDL in their pocket. This is probably one way they are trying to stop that. That might be your twin brother's license, after all :biggrin_25517:

    Is there such a law or is it just your company policy? I have never had that problem and it's different on mine. I could see if a woman got married and changed her name but all others seem overkill to me. If you have a law, please list it.

    WHAT! you dont know why the name on a DL need to match the name on a S.S. card?, Just makes sence to me that they should match, Or unless your trying to hide something
