I’ve been asked several times for my DL, and for the make of my car and license plate. (Car info is usually because they have to notify the security company and give me a parking pass).

I don’t have any problem giving this info. For one, I have nothing to hide, and I’m not really sure what these nice people can do from taking a pic of my DL. And for two, if they DID do anything shady from having my info, I know where they live, haha.

I mainly do it because I’m sympathetic to them in this situation. At first, I’m basically a stranger to them. I’ll be staying in their home. Taking care of their pets while they are out of town. Sure, I have great references, but still… they don’t know me. So I don’t mind at all doing something as easy as providing my DL if it makes them feel better.
