Florida has a better system for driver's license numbers.. The first part is the first letter of your last name followed by 3 digits based on the consonant patter of the rest of your last name. The next 3 digits are based on the consonant pattern of your first name. The next 2 digits are the birth year. The final 4 digits are a tie-breaker, with 1/2 the range indicating male and the other 1/2 the range indicating female. This allows some cross-verification and may make forgery detection somewhat easier.

Likewise in Illinois, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Nevada and South Dakota (from personal experience). Also Massachusetts will do this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
