Do I still need my Counterpart Driving Licence? As of 8th June 2015 there is no longer the need to keep your counterpart driving licence. This document was kept alongside your photocard driving licence to provide additional information such as how many points you had on your licence. I' applying for a provisional driving licence this week and I'm currently filling out the form I've got to the part 5 (your proof of Identity) (I'm having to send my birth certificate as I don't have any of the other I.D). Driving Licence Provisional Birth Cert and serial number?.marv. Posts: 9,010.

hi
I have a provisional driving lcience and need my driver licence number off of it.
Is it number 5 the long code begining with my surname?
If so, how many digits is it? I need to enter it without spaces so do I have to include the two digits that have a space before them after the rest of the code?

- #2Going from my old paper licence yes it's number 5, made up from your surname, birthdate and other guff.
- #3Okay well i have that
it is for instance: ABCD?123456E?7LK 78
The question mark represents something I am unsure about - I'm not sure whether it is a 0 or a letter O.
And also what about the two numbers after the space? - #4Your driver number consists of the first 5 letters of your surname, followed by your date of birth in coded form (first and last letters are the year, 2nd and third are the month, and 4th and 5th are the day), then your initials, followed by extra characters (up to 4, depending on how many forenames you have) used to differentiate you from anyone with the same names and date of birth as you.
If you are female, 5 is added to the first character of the month of your birth, meaning that if you are famale and born between January and October, the month begins with a 5 instead of a 0, and between October and December, it begins with a 6 instead of a 1.
