Driving Licence Number Decoder
Enter a driving licence number to see its parts: the issuing state, the Regional Transport Office code, the year it was issued and the serial number. This reads the structure only — it does not connect to any database or confirm the licence is valid.
Normalised: MH12 20110012345
This reads the structure of the number only — the state, the Regional Transport Office code, the year and the serial. It does not connect to any database and cannot tell you whether a licence is valid, current or genuine — check that on the official Driving Licence website. Nothing you type is uploaded.
FAQ
- Can this check if my licence is valid?
- No. It only splits the number into its parts. To check status, use the official Driving Licence website with your DL number and date of birth.
- Why doesn't my number parse?
- Formats vary slightly by state and era. The common pattern is a 2-letter state code, a 2-digit RTO number, a 4-digit year and a 6–7-digit serial. Try removing or adding spaces and dashes.
