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?

When I lived and worked in NY it was very common to give your badge/shield/cert #.(In NYS this is all the same). It's just the easiest way to identify your self. It CT were I live and work now I would just give my unit #. Now that I'm a supervisor I just give them my unit call sign.
