Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that DMVs in the US are allowed to sell some of your personal information and do. This practice is legal under federal law. For example, Florida’s DMV made $77 million and California’s DMV made $52 million in 2017 through this practice alone. by TheKeyboardKid

Or charge them royalties and licensing costs for the privilege of putting your name on a license?

Also, I wonder if celebrities have this same privacy problem with the DMV - especially those who have copyrighted their names?

I like the way you think! I'd be pissed off if someone created a financial instrument using my copyrighted material if I was ever issued a ticket.
