Isn't the driver's license number the same as the ID card number?
2 Answers
The driver's license number is the same as the ID card number. According to regulations, one ID card can only apply for one driver's license, so the driver's license number is the ID card number, which is a unique number. Age requirements for applying for a driver's license: 1. Small cars: To apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, special small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, or light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. 2. Low-speed vehicles: To apply for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old. 3. City vehicles: To apply for city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the applicant must be between 20 and 50 years old. 4. Medium-sized buses: To apply for medium-sized buses, the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old. 5. Tractor vehicles: To apply for tractor vehicles, the applicant must be between 24 and 50 years old. 6. Large buses: To apply for large buses, the applicant must be between 26 and 50 years old.
I used to wonder about this when I was learning to drive, but after figuring it out, I realized that the driver's license number and ID card number are indeed not the same thing. The ID card number is everyone's unique identification code, used for various matters since childhood, such as opening accounts, school enrollment, or travel registration. As for the driver's license number, it's a special serial number assigned by the traffic bureau after obtaining a driver's license, mainly used for managing driving records, violations, and handling annual inspections. I remember when I got my license after passing the test, there was a separate line of numbers on that little booklet—that was the driver's license number, not a copy of the ID card. This distinction is quite important; if you confuse the numbers while driving, it might delay verification or appeals in case of checks, affecting safety. So, I make it a habit to check my documents before driving to ensure everything is clear.
