New Driver License and ID Card numbers will be issued beginning January 1, 1997. You are required to ask the applicant if he/she wants an “assigned” number rather than using his/her Social Security number, for all applicants (new, renewals, duplicates). b. All new assigned numbers will begin with ‘800....1' and will increment by a count of 1 each time an applicant (statewide) requests an “assigned Number”. c. Assigned Driver License and ID Card numbers will be taken from the same pool of numbers. d. You cannot have a Driver License and ID Card number with the same “assigned” number. e. If the driver currently holds an “assigned” number (001, 000, 900), he/she will not be allowed to receive another “assigned” number. f. If at any time the driver receives an “assigned” number, and then decides to use his/her Social Security number as his driver license number, and then wishes to use an “assigned” number again, he/she must use his/her previously assigned number. He/she will not receive multiple “assigned” numbers. The driver’s previous license number can be viewed in the Social Security Number field or in the OLD LIC NUM field on the NLH Command screen. g. If the applicant is currently a CDL driver and he/she requests an “assigned” driver license number, a “Change Data Record” transaction will automatically be sent to CDLIS and PDPS (if a record exists).
