How does the Texas Department of Public Safety identify drivers?

The Texas Department of Public Safety identifies drivers primarily through a unique driver's license number and biometric data. Each driver's license issued in Texas contains a unique number that helps to distinguish one driver from another, ensuring that records are accurately maintained.

In addition to the unique driver's license number, the use of biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, adds an additional layer of security and accuracy in identifying individuals. This biometric information helps prevent identity theft and ensures that the person holding the driver's license is indeed the authorized individual.

Other methods listed, such as using social security numbers or vehicle registration numbers, are not primary identifiers for drivers in the context of licensing and identification. Vehicle registration numbers pertain more to the identification of vehicles than the drivers themselves.
