Yes, I think the way the demand was worded (or reported) is causing the confusion. I don't think they want the DL
number specifically (what earthly use is that ?), just something government issue with a name and picture. If you don't have a DL or won't show it, or anything else which qualifies then the 'two other pieces' kicks in, and one of the suggested acceptable documents is SS card (again I think the number is irrelevant, but it's right there anyway). If you have something else without a picture yet is government-issued it should suffice. I'm not sure about where the DoB requirement comes from - if the CSR did in fact demand that then I think she was wrong/misinformed/lying (take your pick).
