Texas Residency Requirement for Driver Licenses and ID Cards

To verify Texas residency, an individual must present two documents from the drop down menu below. Both documents must contain the individual's name and residential address. One of the documents must verify that the individual has lived in Texas for at least 30 days. This 30 day requirement is waived for individuals who are surrendering a valid, unexpired driver license from another state, or applying for a commercial driver license.

Individuals who are unable to provide two acceptable documents may be eligible to complete a Texas Residency Affidavit.

Any of the following documents will be accepted to verify an individual's Texas residency. The two documents provided must be issued by different companies or agencies. For example, an individual may not use a water bill and an electricity bill from the same company.

The Florida state driver's license number format is 13 digits, consisting of one alphabetic character, then 12 numeric characters.

Every state has its own driver's license format. The Florida state driver's license number format is 13 digits, consisting of one alphabetic character and 12 numeric characters. Every driver has a unique number based on last name, first and middle initial, birth date and sex.

Examples

Florida Driver's License Format

A Florida driver's license number always has 13 digits: one letter followed by 12 numbers. The number is split into five fields, i.e., xxxx – xxx – xx – xxx – x.

The first field is the Soundex code (a letter and three numbers) for the driver's last name. This roughly describes how a given word sounds, with the first letter being the first letter in the name and the remaining numbers (from 1 to 6) indicating different categories of sounds created by consonants following the first letter.

The second field is a numerical code based on your first name and middle initial, and the third field is your birth year. The fourth field is a numerical code based on your sex (male or female), birth month and birth day.

If you have a Florida driver's license number ending in 1, you have a pretty rare driver's license. In the unusual circumstance that the calculation for two people results in exactly the same license number, the number in the fifth field is used to tell them apart. The first person to apply gets 0, the second gets 1, etc.

Other Florida Driver's License Information

In addition to your driver's license's unique 13-digit number, your Florida license also includes a barcode and magnetic strip on the back. This stores all the information located on the front of the card such as your photo, name, address, date of birth, height, weight, sex, signature and license expiration date.

The back of your card lists your specific driver class, such as the Class E designation for non-commercial drivers, and whether your driving privileges have any restrictions, conditions or endorsements. This would include the requirement to wear contacts or glasses while driving, limitations such as being able to drive only for business purposes or during daylight hours, or enhancements such as being able to drive passenger vehicles if you have a commercial license.
