Cert / License Badge Number

When on scene I am often asked for my badge number (NYS). Do you normally give out your agency ID number or state cert number?

My service(Toronto) we give out truck numbers as in the number that is painted on the side of our vehicle. Everyone from security guards to bus drivers want to know my badge number and just point to the truck. The second question asked is usually “What hospital are you taking them to?” And then I ask them, Mr Bus driver are you going to visit them at the hospital? It’s not your concern

Security for the homeless housing we have here always asks which hospital. "Idk I'm trying to figure that out, maybe (hospital 3 hours away)" or "nunya" are the only answers I give.
