Texas DL/ID Audit Number

#1

Post by mostcomplete »

New CHL.....The Customer Authentication page under the Texas DPS web page is needing me to fill in a link for "Texas DL/ID Audit Number". Do I put both numbers or just one of the two? I don't want to do it wrong and have it take that much longer.

I believe they're asking for the audit number from either your Texas Driver's License (that's what I put on mine), or the audit number from your Texas DPS Identification card. You should only have one or the other.

No reason why you can't have both. For consistency, I'd use the DL number and DL audit number if I had both.

They are asking for the audit number on your Texas DL. That is the really long number across the bottom - not the 8 digit DL number.

You can use the Texas ID audit number if you do not have a driver's license, and are applying with a Texas ID instead.

It's about a 20 digit number across the bottom of your license if you have a new style license, and vertically by the picture on the old style.

Okay. It has "DD" next to it. it doesn't say "audit."

Well, duh! They wouldn't want just anyone to figure out the secret squirrel code. :lol:
