That procedure has at least one Ohio resident very angry. Rosanna Miller, a 55-year-old musician and music teacher in Amanda, Ohio, said the use of Social Security numbers for identification purposes by government agencies is wrong. That information is supposed to be kept private, according to the Social Security Administration, she said.

'Every time you turn around, the government's telling you something that's not the truth,' Miller said.

Last year, Miller said she was turned down for assistance from a state program to help pay her home heating bills because she refused to put her Social Security number on the form.

When Miller telephoned the state secretary of state's office earlier this week to check to see if her Social Security number was listed in her voting registration records, she was told that the number was not on her records, she said. 'Now, do I believe that?'

The problem is that many different government agencies have been using the information, including the secretary of state's office, she said. 'Now [the BMV] is passing it out. This just gets deeper and deeper and deeper.'
