Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. The UK driver's license number is a unique identifier assigned to each driver by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The UK driver's license number typically follows this 18-character structure:
  • First 5 characters: First five letters of the surname (padded with the number 9 if the surname has fewer than five characters).
  • Next character (6th): Represents the decade of birth (e.g., '8' for 1980s).
  • Following 5 digits (7th to 11th): Encodes the date of birth in the format MMDDY:
    • MM: Birth month (female drivers add 5 to the first digit, making January range from 51 to 62).
    • DD: Day of birth.
    • Y: Last digit of the birth year.
  • Two letters or digits (12th to 13th): Additional characters, often an issue number or other identifier.
  • Last 5 characters (14th to 18th): Numeric sequence, with a check digit to ensure validity.
