I read in the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual (December 1991 edition) that you
need to show your Social Security card to obtain a learner's permit and also
for the real driver license.

Is this mandatory or optional?  If it is mandatory, does the application
forms follow the Privacy Act of 1974 and tell me why the state needs my
Social Security number?

I'm very interested because I'm about to get a license but am loathe to give
out my social security number to anyone who shouldn't require it.
