They already have a very nice system to find out if you have a license
in another state.  It's called NDIC.

Neither Colorado nor Maryland use SSN's as license number (Maryland uses
a "Soundex" number which is a hash on how the computer expects your name
to be pronounced and Colorado just numbers them serially, if you ask nice
they'll dig down in the stack of license blanks and find a good number for
you) but Maryland threatened to send the points to Colorado.
