# Is a Social Security Number Required to Register as a Contract Driver on the DRAIVER Platform?

## A valid Social Security Number is required for annual background checks and tax reporting.

In order to qualify to use the DRAIVER platform, you must pass an initial and subsequent annual background checks which require your social security number. Also, as a 1099 Independent Contractor your annual income tax information must be reported if your trip pay exceeds $600 in any calendar year.

Your Social Security Number is automatically encrypted when you enter it during registration, ensuring it is secure and preventing unauthorized access by unauthorized users or entities.
