QUESTION
Is it legal for a doctor’s office to insist to have a copy of my driver’s license?
Asked on Oct 28th, 2016 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
When I visit a doctor's office, I am told that they need to make a copy (or scan) my driver's license. I am never told that I don't have to do it even after I tell them that I don't want to due to being a victim of identity theft.

Yes, I assume this is a private medical facility. They can require any information they think is necessary. Their likely view is that if you don't wish to comply, you can seek another physician.
