Drivers Licence card number

Drivers Licenses can display an individual card number, in addition to the licence number

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Drivers Licences can now include a card number that is different to the license number.

If your licence is reissued or replaced, your new card will display the same license number, but a different and unique card number.

Here are some illustrations on where to find your Drivers Licence card number for each state
