# Belgian driver's license number (`be_driver_license`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Number of a driving licence (rijbewijs, permis de conduire, Führerschein) issued in Belgium as a card in the European format. Microsoft Purview looks for ten digits without spaces or delimiters and no check digit. On the card models described in PRADO a changing image shows the photo of the holder and the last five digits of the number.
