Newbie Question

i realize that when recording someones drivers license you record the # however is it a requirement that you also record the exp date?

I always include the exp date. Even if the card is expired CA law allows us to accept the DL or ID if the issue date is within 5 years. So if I didn't put the date, I don't know how I could confirm it was or wasn't within the time frame.

Whether it's a requirement or not, it is good policy to do so. Why? Many states require the ID to be current (or issued within the past 5 years), including CA. If you didn't record the issue and expiration dates, then you would have no way to be able to answer if the license was valid, if asked next year. Granted, you are responsible to ensure that the statutes regarding identity are followed, but it is always better to have "proof" that you followed the law, if ever necessary.

I would transcribe the d/l i.d. number, the issue AND exp. dates, the d.o.b., and the name and address as shown on the i.d.

So it will take you a minute but now you are entirely covered.
