ACT Driver Licence Number

Detects Australian Capital Territory driver licence numbers in the established eight-to-ten-digit shape. Enforceable tiers require an explicit driver-licence-number label and ACT context; the strict tier additionally requires Access Canberra or ACT Road Transport Authority evidence.

Type: regex

Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium confidence: eight-to-ten-digit values are broadly ambiguous, while a driver-licence-number label and ACT context materially improve precision and issuing-authority evidence supports strict classification.

Should match

4062981735 — Exact 65 discovery probe - bare ten-digit ACT-shaped candidate
ACT driver licence number: 4062981735 — Exact 75 balanced probe - labelled candidate with ACT context but no authority
Access Canberra ACT driver licence number: 4062981735 — Exact 85 strict probe - labelled candidate with Access Canberra authority
ACT Road Transport Authority driver license no. 62981735 — Strict eight-digit variant with authority evidence

Should not match

Medicare number: 4062981735 — Ten-digit Medicare-shaped collision has no licence label or ACT context
VIC driver licence number: 4062981735 — Wrong-state collision must not reach an enforceable ACT tier
Access Canberra vehicle registration number: 4062981735 — Sibling transport identifier is not a driver licence number
ACT driver licence contact mobile: 0412345678 — Australian mobile number must not classify as an ACT licence number
Documentation example: ACT driver licence number: 4062981735 — Documentation fixture is excluded

Known false positives

Eight-to-ten-digit Medicare, telephone, account, customer, and payment identifiers. Mitigation: Require the labelled licence-number primary and exclude Australian mobile-number shapes.
Victorian and other numeric driver licence formats overlap the ACT candidate range. Mitigation: Require ACT context and ACT licensing-authority evidence for confidence 85.
