In the United States, driver's license numbers are considered sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) and are used to identify and recognize every driver on public roads. Given the personal information linked to each driver's license number, such as name, address, date of birth, gender, height and eye color, confidentiality issues could arise. Ensuring the security of this information is crucial to prevent identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities.

Each state within the United States has its own Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and each DMV issues drivers a numeric or alphanumeric driver's license number. For more information on formatting, refer to the National Traffic Safety Institute.

This will check for a numeric or alphanumeric string (ex. C999999999), and will check for state specific guidelines to verify and validate correct format per state.
