REQUIRED INFORMATION
This is made up of the first five letters of your surname, your birth year, month and day, plus the letters two of your middle names begin with, with the number ‘9’ standing in if you only have one middle name. Note the two numbers that make up your birth year are split in two and bookend the long number, rather than being displayed sequentially. There are also three computer-assigned digits at the end, plus a separate pair of numbers on the same line that represent your licence issue number.
Back of the driving licence explained
A number of categories are displayed on the back of your driving licence, displayed in a table with four columns, labelled 9-12.
