where is dl no in driving licence

The Driving Licence (DL) number in India is a unique identification number prominently displayed on the front face of your physical driving licence card. While the exact position can vary slightly between different states or card formats (like older book-style or newer smart cards), it is always one of the main fields. The number is an alphanumeric string that typically encodes the issuing State Code, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) code, and the year of issue, followed by a unique serial number.
