Interesting. According to this, the 8th and 9th digit is the year of your birth.Is it correct that the birth year is always part of the driver's license number?
I know it is in FL, but how in other states?
So... I'll assume application denied.I found a website that extracts the full date from a FL DL number.
(Applicant tried to rent with a wrong birth date, so we do not find his probation. But he gave us the correct FL DL number.)
No. It varies by state. In my current state, it is not part of the DL number, but the birth date is expressly stated on the DL. The DL or state ID card must have some way to show DOB as those are the primary identification documents people use in the US and a lot of things are dependent on your age, like the ability to buy cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Note that for a state license or ID care to be REAL ID compliant it MUST explicitly show your DOB. Furthermore, the DL must be unique and must not be simply your SSN. 6 CFR § 37.17. REAL ID refers to the federal requirements for licenses/ID cards that the federal government will allow for use in entering federal property or federal government controlled areas, like TSA check points at airports, entry into Federal Courthouses, and entry to other federal facilities. States now have until May 3, 2023 to offer licenses/ID cards that are REAL ID compliant. After that date, if you don't have a REAL ID compliant license, you'll have problems flying on airplanes and getting into many federal facilities/controlled areas. You can determine if your license is REAL ID compliant from the DHS REAL home page.Is it correct that the birth year is always part of the driver's license number?
I know it is in FL, but how in other states?
Yes, but the same day we got an application with a totally fake ID. Even sent us a picture of the ID. What is going on? Called the police but they were not interested. We found a fresh eviction under that fake ID, so there was even damage done.So... I'll assume application denied.
Anecdotally.... When I lived in Ca many moons ago, my DL had the wrong birth year on it - made me 10 years older. I didn't realize until the following incident (and I was actually of-age)...California here- no apparent correlation.
It's not in California.Is it correct that the birth year is always part of the driver's license number?
I know it is in FL, but how in other states?
That's also true in CA, and every state has the driver's date of birth on the license.However, my actual date of birth appears on the DL, though separately from the DL number.
