WASHINGTON
LICENSE NUMBER FORMAT:
The State of Washington issues a fourteen (14) character alpha-
numeric drivers license number consisting of one (1) alpha
character followed by thirteen (13) numeric characters with dash
delimiters that break the number into a 4-4-4-2 grouping:
(Annn-nnnn-nnnn-nn)
Washington uses the older soundex algorithm to generate a license
number from the driver's name, date of birth, and sex, breaking
this information into coded portions as follows:
Last name - first four (4) characters
First name and middle initial - next three (3) characters
Year of birth - next two (2) characters
Date of birth and sex - last three (3) characters
The last two characters of the license number are the check digit
and tie-breaker digit.
DOCUMENT:
The plastic laminated, photographic license manufactured by
Polaroid, displays the driver's photograph in the lower left corner
of the license document. A repetitive pattern of "Washington"
should appear within the laminate over the textual portion of the
document. A state outline should overlap the right edge of the
photograph and the state seal appears on gold behind the textual
data.
TERM:
License is valid for two (2) or four (4) years, expiring on the
driver's birth date.
MINORS:
Minor licenses issued subsequent to January 1, 1993 show a red
photograph backdrop (for drivers under 21) and "UNDER 21 UNTIL.."
above the date of birth.
CDL:
Commercial drivers license is indicated by "COMMERCIAL DR. LIC." in
the heading and also printed on the right edge of the laminate.
END WASHINGTON
