HQL and New Driver’s License Number

[djryan328]

I lost my wallet a while back and had to get a replacement driver’s license. However, MVA issued me a new license number. It doesn’t match my old number that appears on my HQL license. Has anyone had the same thing happen? Will this be an issue the next time I go to purchase a firearm, and if so what do I do?

My HQL doesn't have my driver's license number on it, it has it's own number

It wont be an issue, the new emailed hql's dont even have a dl license number on them. I seriously doubt any gun stores look at that, even the address they kind of leave it to the state police.

Update your DL # on your MDSP licensing portal profiles. It's all linked together in their system so you don't have to worry about it.

It is pretty common with the new Real ID DL number updates.

Yea, Soundex numbers are gone on all new DL. Time to remember a new number .

I've never had to show my HQL since MSP went electronic.

I bought a 322 right before Thanksgiving and had to show mine at 2A Sales. The verbiage is still on the 77R, absolutely ridiculous.

I might need to check that 322 out, been thinking about getting one!

I just picked mine up two Weeks ago
Once I put couple hundred rounds down range it was good before it was broke in was a little finicky love it you will not be disappointed just have a little patience until you get it broken

The new numbers aren’t consistent. I’ve seen them newer and older than mine that did not change when I got the “real ID” crap done and mine isn’t the only one like that. That may be the goal but they are fvcking up if that’s the case.

Is it the newer version HQL? I have a 2013 HQL and my DL# is on the back

Mine's from 2015, I didn't look on the back! I have a picture of the front on my phone LOL! Now
I have to go look on the back. I did have a snafu last month. From the time I started my first electronic
77R my middle initial was on there. Now, all of a sudden, my entire middle name was needed. Cost me an extra week
and $10 more dollars! The message I got was "Middle name on 77R does not match middle name in DMV records"

That shouldn’t have cost anything extra. I have to edit customer 77r’s occasionally after they’ve been sent back and have never paid to have it resubmitted. Had one with a first name typo 2 weeks ago.

HQL cards do have the DL numbers on the back. I don't think that's going to be an issue.

Maryland license numbers are based on your name and date of birth. If your number was changed, something is wrong!

no

They recently changed the numbering system, for some reason

In the past yes, but new dl have a new number not soundex

Just helped my daughter replace her lost DL last week. According to the lady @ the MVA the old DL numbers are going away and a new system is coming. Perhaps it's already started? I think the old system was called soundex.

The old DL soundex was the first letter of the last name, then 3 digits corresponding to the next 3 consonants. The next numbers might have just been sequence numbers. The National Archives also used soundex for indexing names.

I got a new number when I did a change of address and wanted a new license card.
