What must be done with the applicant's social security number during the application process?

During the application process for a noncommercial driver license in North Dakota, it is essential that the applicant's social security number is included within the application. This requirement is in place for several reasons, such as verifying the applicant’s identity, ensuring that they are not applying for a license fraudulently, and helping maintain accurate records for licensing purposes. Including the social security number directly within the application ensures that it is correctly linked to the individual’s identity and helps streamline the processing of the application.

Other options are not valid because submitting the social security number separately could complicate record-keeping, while omitting the number entirely would not comply with the requirements set forth for obtaining a driver license, regardless of the applicant's age. Memorizing the number and not writing it down does not fulfill the requirement of including it in the application, which is also crucial for accurate identification.
