Christian Denied Driver’s License, State Cites U.S. Federal Law ‘666’

While renewing one’s driver’s license may seem like a routine task for most Americans, an Arizona man [Mike Palmer] who has been a licensed driver in the Grand Canyon State for four decades is now being denied a renewal because he does not have a Social Security Number – and he doesn’t want one, believing it to be tied to Bible prophecies about the end-times “mark of the beast” . . .

Palmer [a self-described “fundamental Christian”] contacted the state about his situation, and received the following response from Susan Pacheco with Constituent Services at the director’s office of the Motor Vehicle Department:

“Dear Mr. Palmer, Your record and request to apply without a social security number has been reviewed. Unfortunately, we cannot issue a credential without it. You must present a valid social security number in order to obtain a license in the state of Arizona. There is no exception in the state or federal law that would allow you to present any other type of document, such as an affidavit like the one the US State Department accepts for passport issuance. We are bound by the relevant state and federal statutes, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 28-3158 and 42 United States Code Annotated (U.S.C.A) § 666.”

“Interestingly,” says Palmer, “the federal law that the Arizona MVD cites for authority is USCA § 666, which is a sign to me that I’m right. The Social Security Number IS a precursor to the mark.” (Read more from “Christian Denied Driver’s License, State Cites U.S. Federal Law ‘666’” HERE)
