Thread: Question about Driver's License

  1. #1

    Question about Driver's License

    I got my new TN driver's license today and on it there is: DD followed by a 16 digit number. Does anyone know what DD stands for or what this might be? I tried google and couldn't find anything. Maybe i'm just bad at searching google. Do other states have this?

    I'm only half kidding.

    On the Ontario licenses:

    I'm not the most technological person in this conversation, I'm quite sure. But, as I understand RFID, it is a physical chip that is obvious (gold, etc.) My new license does not have anything of the sort. It does however carry a second set of numbers that I am not sure of, called DD/REF and some pretty high tech security features.
    Interestingly, if you do a search for "DD" as an abbreviation, "Digital Data" is fairly high on the list.
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    Only question I have; Does it have an RFID Microchip in it?

    According to the internets, some people think it stands for Defensive Driving and is a number to prove that you took the course.

    Good point, didn't read far enough before posting. Funny thing is that it looks like many (all?) states are putting it on their licenses and yet there seems to be no official explanation.

    The example in an earlier post on the thread would be more revealing if the numbers and letters actually corresponded (ie - the "DD" number is just your DL and DOB scrambled together randomly, or something, to generate a reference number unique to your license). It's all very strange because you'd think your DL is already a unique reference number, and that anyone copying a license would easily be able to copy the reference number as well.

    *shrugs* It's not on mine.

    it's probably just some number representing an 'account' they have for you on file. for all we know it means 'driver document' followed by the 'number' associated to the account. i think this is much more likely. a cop could just enter the number in his system to pull up all relevant dmv info on you.

    why wouldn't they just use the DL number they have already given. it's much shorter. or one of the two barcodes on the back

    ...and/or scramble the strip with a magnet.

    I smell a federal database. That said, DD could also stand for Driver's (as opposed to ID card) Class D.

    National ID seems to be the answer

    looks like this is the answer:

    http://www.articlesbase.com/security...m-2097047.html


    National Id Validation (Security) System
    Posted: Apr 04, 2010 |Comments: 2 | Views: 787 |

    National ID

    National ID means National Identification of a citizen of a country which is denoted by a unique number. National ID or National Identification Number is vastly important for a country's citizens. There are two types of National ID. One for the permanent citizen and the other is for the temporary citizen who is living as a guest in the country.

    There are so many countries that use national ID for their citizens. The government creates the National ID for the purpose of taxation, passport, for the government agencies and so on.

    Bangladesh has a National ID for its citizens. The Bangladesh Election Commission (BEC) was responsible for creating National IDs for the country. The Bangladesh Election Commission, in partnership with the Bangladesh Army, established the Bangladesh Voter Registration Project to digitally register all legal Voters in the country in advance of general elections in December 2008. The biometric registration of voters which began in early 2007 resulted in a database that included photographic and fingerprint records for 80 million voters. BEC mainly created a voter registration ID for the purpose of voting because they faced many difficulties in the previous years during voting periods. They also created a database for the people of 18 years and above. The database contains several information of a citizen of Bangladesh such as name, father's name, mother's name, husband's name (in case of married women), address, birth date and so on. With this information they created a Voter registration ID which was called National ID.

    Structure of the ID

    Our National ID number contains 13 digits. The structure is "DDRTTUUSSSSSS". The 1st two digits "DD" for District code of the ID holder, next one digit "R" for R.M.O code, the next two digits "TT" for Thana code, next two "UU" are for Union code and the last "SSSSSS" six digits are a sequential number for each citizen of the country. The figure shown below shows the structure of the National ID of Bangladesh which has been created by BEC (Bangladesh Election Commission).

    Here, DD = Code for district

    R= code for R.M.O

    TT = code for Thana

    UU = code for Union

    SSSSSS = a serial number for the card holder

    Some examples of National ID of Bangladesh are given below:


    3921507785193

    In this example the 1st two digits are district code which is the code of district Jamalpur. Next one digit for R.M.O and the next two digits for Thana Deoangonj, next two are for Union and the last six digits is a serial number. That means the next number is 3921507785194 for same district, same R.M.O, same Thana, same union.
    2613869365057

    It is another example of National ID structure. We can see that the number holder is citizen of Dhaka, and the location is in keranigonj thana, subadda union and the serial number is "365057". So it is clear that "26" is the code of Dhaka district, "1" for R.M.O which name is south keranigong, "38" for thana keranigong and "69" is for the union subadda.

    Purpose of National ID

    The National ID holds a great advantage for the citizen of any country Illegal people cannot stay in a country without permission of the government of that country. National ID can be used for the purpose of citizenship , permanent residents ,work, taxation, government benefits, health care and other government-related functions. Our National ID is appeared on an identity card issued by the Election Commission.

    Although there was a policy adopted that the ID would be used in opening Bank Accounts and the ID card holder would get 22 additional benefits .Meanwhile our National ID is mainly used for the purpose of voting. Still now there is beneficial use of the National ID.

    Our National ID system

    There is some limitation in our National ID. The main limitation is the ID is the structure of the ID. No system for ID validation and verification. An individual can easily make an illegal ID. Recent newspaper reports show that how easily one can get a fake ID.

    So, did you get the chance to call the DMV? What's the final word on this?

    That's probably it. It would explain why NH licenses don't have it.

    Not to be picky, but the explanation posted by lynnf doesn't match the description given by garyallen:

    (emphasis added)


    In lynnf's description, the code is only thirteen digits, NOT sixteen. In addition, the "National ID number" in lynnf's description is actually represented in final form by all thirteen digits being, well, digits. Garyallen stated that there was actually a "DD" in front of a sixteen digit number...

    At any rate, I would be interested in the Tennessee DMV's explanation, so I hope we get a solid follow-up post by the OP.

    I didn't represent that it was an exact match: note that the section refers to itself as the implementation of Bangladesh's national ID. So what if the US uses 16 digits? The DD usage is too much to be a coincidence.

    Sounds like a testbed for REAL ID.

    "We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
