What is my "local ID / citizenship number" as a US citizen?

Do not share your SSN!

Not all countries have local id numbers that are suitable for this field. In Netherlands we have BSN, which is similar to the SSN. I left this field blank when applying for a visa in 2016 and got granted the visa.

The goal of the application form is to verify that you are a genuine applicant. You want to supply them information that is useful and true. Another field already asks for your passport number, so re-entering that is not useful. Your drivers license is not valid in most of China, so that is not useful either. Leaving it blank worked for me.

For use in a foreign country, I would put my passport number.

Some websites suggest putting your state driver’s license or state ID number there.

The U.S. does not have a federal/national ID number for its citizens and residents, formally, so I think you can leave it empty or write N/A. Otherwise, you could also put your social security number there. I don’t think they would be bothered too much about that.
