They do not!  They ask for information, but they do nothing to verify
that information.  Be a man, learn to lie to the internet!

By virtue of your giving us your ham call, we already know far
more about your personal life than you really want us to know.  From
your call, we can know your real name, birth date, and address.  Because
the government asked you for your SSN as a requirement for issuing your
license, there are elements that can get that too.  Talk about giving
out personal information!
