Alternative to Social Security Number to setup Apple Pay account
I don’t have a Social Security number. Can I use my drivers license number to setup my Apple Pay account?

Federal law and banking regulations are specific. This is due to the Patriot Act enacted after 9/11.
“To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person wh oo opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.”
If you’re referring to an Apple Cash account there’s no room for alternatives. Banks are required to confirm Social Security Number.
