What movie am I thinking of(80s or 90s)?

https://schw.im/

There was a comedy movie(Steve Martin keeps popping in my head but that's probably wrong) in which there's a scene where a guy is asked either his SSN or maybe driver's license number and he responds with like "5" so the copy is waiting and says something like it's not enough numbers so the dude goes "42" and that goes on a bit before he just rattles off way too many numbers to the guy.

That's all I've got. I did the same to my daughter when she needed my SSN and I wanted to show her the clip but my fog-addled brain is failing to recall what movie it's from.

Fun fact: the character is Henry Hill, the same guy from Goodfellas. My Blue Heaven picks up where Goodfellas ends and tells the story of Henry in witness protection.

Fun addendum: My Blue Heaven was written by Nora Ephron, who was married at the time to Nicholas Pileggi, the screenwriter for Goodfellas.

The Coneheads movie has this gag. Father tries to get a job and has to make up an SSN on the spot.

Simpsons did a variation with Mr. Burns...

"Zero-Zero-Zero Zero-Zero Zero-Zero-Zero-TWO!
DAMN YOU, ROOSEVELT!"
