Question

question 1 of 10
which of the following is needed to apply for a checking account?

a. birth certificate
b. report card
c. social security number
d. copy of a drivers license

Explanation:

To apply for a checking account, financial institutions typically require a Social Security number (SSN) for identification, tax reporting, and verifying the applicant's identity/creditworthiness. A birth certificate (A) is not usually required for a checking account application. A report card (B) is irrelevant to banking. A driver’s license (D) is a form of ID, but an SSN is more commonly a key requirement for account setup (for tax and regulatory purposes), making C the correct choice.

Answer:

C. Social Security number
