> WHAT IS A CUSTOMER ID NUMBER? <
A Maryland Customer Identifier number is a number created by the Maryland MVA that allows MVA employees to find you in their system. The number usually starts with MD-1027. Below is a list of sources of where you can find your Maryland Customer ID number if you have one.
If you do not have a Customer ID number, send your photo identification immediately. After scheduling your final test appointment, we will send an application to the MVA to request one for you.
-
Maryland Driver's License or State ID Card - You can find your Customer ID number on a Driver's License or Identification card. A newer number starts with MD-1027; an older number starts with the first letter of your last name. If you previously had a driver's license or ID card in Maryland, the Customer ID number is still valid - even if the card is expired.
