I got my PPG 2 years ago, and my certificate number is NOT my SSN. In
fact, I was under the impression that the FAA was trying to expunge

as certificate numbers? It's my belief that the certificate number is
not related to SSN...

Does anyone know if all new Private Glider pilots are given their SSN as
their license number?

I want to get, as a xmas gift, a plaque that's a copy of their license,
but they only just took their checkride yesterday so it will be a while
before their permanent license arrives.
