What is the purpose of the supplementary page of a driver's license?
1 Answers
The supplementary page of a driver's license is a dedicated section for recording the license's file number and related information. Neither the main page nor the supplementary page of a driver's license is recognized if presented alone. Handling of missing supplementary page: A motor vehicle driver's license without the supplementary page is invalid, and similarly, having the supplementary page without the main page (original) is also invalid. Therefore, if you are checked while driving without the supplementary page, it is considered driving without a license, and your vehicle may be impounded along with other related penalties. Function of the file number on the supplementary page: The file number is essentially the ID number of the driver's license. Each driver's license has a unique file number, just as a person has a unique ID number. Through this number, one can not only verify which vehicle management office issued the license but also check the individual's demerit point status. The file number is typically a 12-digit serial code, where the first two digits represent the province code of the license, the third and fourth digits represent the city code, and the last eight digits are the sequential number assigned by the local vehicle management office.
