Licence Numnber?

Question

On a UK driving licence, what is your licence number made up of?

I think the start is the 5 first letters of your second name or something.

Answer 1

UK Driver number -

A -  First five characters of surname. If the surname is less than five characters the remaining spaces will be made up using the figure 9. (eg MAN99)

B -  The first and last numbers are the year of birth. The second and third numbers are the month of birth. If you’re a woman, ‘5’ is added to the second number and the total used as the second digit eg if you're born in October the second and third numbers would be 60. The fourth and fifth digits show the day of your birth. (6 digits)

C - The first two initials of your forenames. If you have only one initial then the second will be a ‘9’. (2 digits)

D - Computer check digits. ( 3 digits)

E - Licence issue number. (2 digits)

Answer 2

the first 5 letters of your surname followed by your date of birth and  other coded information for the dvla
