See the following from Identity verification for Apple Card or Apple Cash - Apple Support


Person to person payments and the Apple Cash card are services provided by Green Dot Bank, member FDIC, a regulated financial institution. Green Dot Bank is required by federal law to verify the identity of its customers.


To verify your identity, Green Dot Bank will request social security numbers and other personal information to ensure that customers are eligible to use the service.
