What is the driver's license number?

[ZaneDella]

The driver's license number is the ID card number. The position of the driver's license number is below the document name on the main page and the supplementary page of the driver's license. Because the ID card number is used, each driver's license is similar to an ID card, unique and non-repetitive. This establishes a certain correlation between the driver's license and the ID card, making it easier for traffic police to quickly compare the ID card and the driver's license. The driver's license number is a basic element of the driver's license and serves as the key to distinguishing different people's driver's licenses. Article 9 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses stipulates that a motor vehicle driver's license shall record and note the following contents: 1. Information of the motor vehicle driver: name, gender, date of birth, nationality, address, ID number (motor vehicle driver's license number), photo; 2. Content noted by the vehicle management office: initial license issuance date, permitted driving model code, validity period, issuing authority seal, and file number.

Just helped a friend handle a traffic violation a couple of days ago and specifically checked this. The driver's license number is that 12-digit code on your license, located after the 'License No.' in the top left corner of the personal information page. Like your ID number, it's unique and stays with you for life once you get your license. This number is used for license renewal and handling traffic violations. To put it simply, just as the VIN is a car's ID, the driver's license number is your certification to legally drive on the road. You also need it to log into the 12123 mobile app.

My niece who just got her driver's license told me it's easy to confuse - the driver's license number is actually not the same as the ID card number! Although they're similar in length, you should look at the bottom left corner of the main license page. The 12-digit number printed above the birth date is the correct one. I remember last time when I accompanied my father-in-law for his annual vehicle inspection, the service window specifically emphasized that this code needs to be verified when handling traffic violations from other regions. By the way, this was also a question in the subject one exam question bank. Actually, there's also a file number on the secondary page that shouldn't be overlooked.

Simply put, it's the 12-digit number on the left side of your driver's license main page. Last week, someone in my car club lost their license and only realized during replacement that this number is completely different from the VIN on the vehicle registration. The key point is that you must use it for identity verification when handling demerit points, and you also need to fill it in on bank payment slips for fines. Actually, when you open the Traffic Management 12123 app and bind your license, the system automatically displays this string of numbers for you.

Having worked in auto repair for ten years, I often see customers pulling out the wrong booklet. The driver's license number is on the main page of the hard card, usually located between the name and date of birth with an asterisk. This number is shorter than the vehicle license number, consisting of pure digits without letters. Last time, when a client was handling an out-of-town annual inspection, I specifically reminded them to photograph this number instead of the file number on the supplementary page. It's advisable to keep a photo of it on your phone for backup, as it comes in handy for buying insurance and handling accidents.

Just taught my wife about this last week when explaining the driver's license: Open the dark green plastic-covered booklet, the bold numbers above the name and birth date on the left page are it. Remember, the last four digits are different from the ID card! You must use this for handling highway violations. Like us long-distance drivers, we store it in our phone's notepad. Actually, the string below the license's validity period is more obvious, and the barcode scanned by the DMV computer corresponds to this number.
