The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the Ohio Attorney General's office provided incorrect information for the Dyer Streets column on Friday.
Anyone buying a vehicle from a car dealer must provide a Social Security number because state law requires the local clerk of courts to collect it before issuing a title.
Before the column ran, the Akron Area Auto Dealers Association was asked whether a dealership is legally obligated to collect a Social Security number. The group's vice president did not cite any law to that effect.
Bottom line: If you're buying a vehicle, you have to cough up your number or you won't get the vehicle.
