You should know about and do this... It takes only 1 minute to block it. FACT: The Florida DMV can sell your personal information unless you secure your records by activating a block. Take a moment and check if your name is blocked from selling your information. The DMV is authorized to give out (sell) your personal information to anyone: (name, DOB, phone number, address, SS#, Medical disabilities, (etc) with no problem. You can go to the State of Florida web site and block the DMV from passing on any of your information. Go to: www.hsmv.state.fl.us and click on ON LINE DRIVER LICENSE CHECK to verify if your driver's license is valid - once it verifies that your license is valid or not it will let you know whether or not your license is blocked and it will give you the opportunity to block it at that time by following the instructions.

I know that the Illinois DMV sells your info too, because when I was in Drivers Ed in High School, they screwed up my name. They put Nance, instead of Lance. Well for about 8 years, I kept gettin junk mail with the name of Nance on it, really sucks.
