California Identification Laws????

Who knows Cal. ID laws real good here?? I'll even pay you if you can answer this one, DMV can't.

I'm now required by my medical insurance to have an updated Cal. driver's license. They now require us here to give them your social security number also when getting one. I had one 20 plus years ago before I became paralyzed. I Don't remember what the number was and all records were burned in a fire years ago. They won't give you a license now w/o it!! (LOL, used to be against the constitution when enforced, sort of a mark of the beast sort of deal now I guess.) But anyway they told me if you already have one you can't just go and apply for a new one legaly. So I told them the problem is on the government's end, you idiots go search for mine then, match it and I'll accept it. They're answer is "NO, we can't do that!!! " hahahaaa

It's me (Jack) back again. I have been told by several people to go ahead and register for a new soc.security number. Will I get in trouble? Has anybody in California been through this yet? I am not an imigrant, only posted this here because did not see a better palce to post this.
