Yes, in California, you need to provide your Social Security number (SSN) when applying for an original Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
More specifically:
You cannot start an original CDL application (Class A, B, or C) without DMV visually verifying your SSN.
While you don't need to physically show your SSN card for a noncommercial driver's license application, visual verification is required for original CDL applications.
The California DMV uses your SSN for verification purposes, primarily for establishing your identity and ensuring the integrity of their driver license database. They electronically verify your SSN, name, and birthdate with the Social Security Administration.
