No, you don't need to carry it around. Memorizing it and keeping it safe for the few occasions you do need the card itself is fine.

    When do you ever need it? I just remember the number. I don’t think I’ve ever had to scan

    The last several jobs I have taken, they've wanted a scan of it for tax purposes.

    I think it's ironic how this super private personal number that is unique to you and not to be shared is what you have to share with every job, college, financial institution, etc.

    This is why I think that temporary SSNs should be a thing . It would be a number that links to your real SSN and would be used to verify your identity, but would stop working after a day or two. That way if a company has a data breach, any SSNs that get stolen would no longer work.

    Real ID drivers licenses. In Minnesota it's one of the forms they accept and if it's laminated... They say.. No
