What is a RIN?
A Renters Identification Number (RIN) is a unique nine-digit identification number that can be used to rent again. It has the exact same genetic makeup of a Social Security Number. It is registered with the Three Credit Reporting Bureaus.
Is this Legal?
Yes. Under the 1974 US Privacy Act Title V, you have the right to keep your Social Security Number private and use a separate number for rental purposes. RINs are commonly used by celebrities, members of congress, and identity theft victims.
