61-5-107. (Bracketed language terminates on occurrence of contingency or July 1, 1999) Application for license, instruction permit, or motorcycle endorsement. (1) Each application for an instruction permit, driver's license, or motorcycle endorsement must be made upon a form furnished by the department. A motorcycle endorsement is required for the operation of a quadricycle. Each application must be accompanied by the proper fee, and payment of the fee entitles the applicant to not more than three attempts to pass the examination within a period of 6 months from the date of application. A voter registration form for mail registration as prescribed by the secretary of state must be attached to each driver's license application. If the applicant wishes to register to vote, the department shall accept the registration and forward the form to the election administrator.
     (2) Each application must state the full name, date of birth, sex, residence address of the applicant[, and if the application is for a commercial vehicle operator's license, social security number], must briefly describe the applicant, and must state whether:
     (a) the applicant has previously been licensed as a driver or commercial vehicle operator, and, if so, when and by what state or country;
     (b) any commercial operator license has ever been suspended or revoked; or
     (c) an application has ever been refused, and, if so, the date of and reason for suspension, revocation, or refusal.
     [(3) The department shall keep the applicant's social security number from this source confidential, except that the number may be used for purposes of subtitle VI of Title 49 of the U.S.C. or as otherwise permitted by state law administered by the department and may be provided to the department of public health and human services for use in administering Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.]
     (4) When application is received from an applicant previously licensed by another jurisdiction, the department shall request a copy of the applicant's driving record from the previous licensing jurisdiction. The driving record may be transmitted manually or by electronic medium. When received, the driving records become a part of the driver's record in this state with the same force and effect as though entered on the driver's record in this state in the original instance.
