Why does one 's driving licence have one's place of birth on it?

[Miljah]

It occurs to me that in these fractionated times, it's maybe not necessary to have this on what for many us your principle form of ID, going into pubs, night clubs etc where one might encounter 'more elevated' emotions once alcohol enters the mix.

WDYT?

You're being a bit obtuse. We can't fully answer your questions if you don't answer ours.

Are you saying you actually put in a false place of birth on your DL application as you didn't want to have an East African one???? Pretty sure that's fraud.....

I think it was on the job application.
