I deal with peoples personal info all day, as a finance manager at a car dealership. You would be surprised, but there is very little someone can do with your drivers license that will damage your credit which is the primary concern of most people. The one card you should never carry with you however is your SIN. Don't put it in your blackberry, or write it down on a piece of paper. That's the big piece of ID that someone can really do damage with. I could go on facebook, using peoples first name, last name, and posted birthday to create 1000's of credit applications. But the second the bank requests the SIN that is when you are cornered. If you have it, it is almost a free ticket guaranteeing that persons identity.
