Other states have implemented similar identifying codes. That is the position of the State and Homeland Security. So, the DD is just identifying where and when the DL was issued in an effort to cut down forgeries and add to the security of the DL system. It does not in any way identify the driver or any of the driver's information, just the card itself.

The DD code on the front of the new driver's license stands for 'document discriminator'. All states have these as unique identifiers to allow the dmv to locate the information pertaining to a specific driver along with any criminal background and driving history associated with that person.They are also able to check for active warrants across the states as well.The amount of numbers and letters varies by state.
