Where Is Your Ohio Driver’s License Number?

Your Ohio driver’s license number is on the front of the card. Look for the license or distinguishing number among the printed fields, and use the number printed on your own card—not the example shown in official sample images.

Where to look on an Ohio driver’s license

  1. Turn the card to its front side.
  2. Find the printed license or distinguishing number.
  3. Read the letters and digits on your card. Ohio Department of Public Safety sample images show the number on the front of standard and compliant licenses; one sample displays “AB123456,” which is only an illustration and not a number to use. Ohio Department of Public Safety sample images

Ohio law requires a driver’s license to display the distinguishing number assigned to the licensee. Ohio Revised Code § 4507.13

If you do not have the physical card

The Ohio BMV says a driver record includes the Driver License Number. You can order a record through a driver-record account using an Ohio license or state ID number, or another identifier accepted by the BMV. Check the BMV’s current record-ordering instructions for the available identifiers and process. Ohio BMV driver records

If your new license has not arrived

After an in-person visit to a deputy registrar, the BMV mails the newly issued card and provides interim documentation while it is pending. Use that documentation or the BMV’s official services rather than relying on the number shown in a sample image. Ohio BMV information about newly issued cards

What the sample cards can—and cannot—tell you

The official examples show the number on the front of standard and compliant licenses, but they do not establish that every card design, including older cards, has an identical layout. If your card looks different, check its printed fields carefully or consult the Ohio BMV.
