brendaar1991 commented 2 weeks ago

A U.S. driver’s license is a type of personal information that allows someone to legally drive a car. Issued by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), it shows important details like the person’s name, photo, address, birth date, and a special ID number. This license is also used for other things, like proving who you are when you open a bank account, apply for a job, get on a plane, or buy certain products. Because it has so much personal information, it needs to be kept safe to avoid identity theft and fraud.

Does each state have a different format for driver's license numbers? If so, how will you ensure that all of the different formats can be detected?

Yes! Each state in the U.S. has its own way of formatting driver's license numbers. To make sure we can detect all these different formats, there is a system that recognizes patterns unique to each state. This system uses special rules to check if a license number matches the pattern for its state, helping to keep track and stay secure.
