Not necessarily. It used to be that your driver's license number was your Social Security number, but most states have changed that for privacy issues. Cops can do it but I'm not sure a private citizen is privy to that information. But if you already have one, why can't you obtain the other the same way? If honesty does not work, try ruse and subterfuge. Most people are vain about their photos. Get the person to show you his and make note of the number. Was this a hypothetical question or did you want a solution? It is under the ethics heading. My answer would be the unethical choice but a choice none the less.

Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
In October 1998, Congress passed the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998 (Identity Theft Act) to address the problem of identity theft. Specifically, the Act amended 18 U.S.C. § 1028 to make it a federal crime when anyone:
knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law.
Violations of the Act are investigated by federal investigative agencies such as the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and prosecuted by the Department of Justice.

You COULD but, unless, you're someone connected with the law in some way (ie: a cop, someone from the Sheriff's Department, a lawyer, etc.) with law and have a provable justified cause to want it, it's illegal. I WOULDN'T "go for it".

It is none of your business. Their SS# is none of your business either. Use it for the wrong purpose and you could end up in jail.
