QLD Driver Licence Number

Name: QLD Driver Licence Number
Creator: TestPattern Community
License: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT

Detects Queensland driver licence numbers in the established eight-to-nine-digit shape. This identifier SIT is separate from au-qld-driver-licence-form, which detects application and renewal documents rather than populated licence numbers.

Type: regex
Engine: universal
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium confidence: eight-to-nine-digit values collide with routine identifiers, while an explicit licence-number label plus Queensland context materially improves precision and TMR authority supports the strict tier.
Jurisdictions: au-qld
Regulations: Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld), Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (Qld)
Frameworks: ISO 27001
Data categories: pii, government-id
Scope: specific

Should match

082946135 — Exact 65 discovery probe - bare nine-digit Queensland-shaped candidate
QLD driver licence number: 082946135 — Exact 75 balanced probe - labelled candidate with QLD context but no authority
TMR Queensland driver licence number: 082946135 — Exact 85 strict probe - labelled candidate with TMR authority
Department of Transport and Main Roads QLD driver license no. 82946135 — Strict eight-digit variant with full authority name

Should not match

Payment reference number: 082946135 — Nine-digit payment collision has no licence label or Queensland context
VIC driver licence number: 082946135 — Wrong-state collision must not reach an enforceable QLD tier
TMR vehicle registration number: 082946135 — Sibling registration identifier is not a driver licence number
TMR driver licence application form number: 082946135 — QLD form/document evidence must remain separate from the number SIT
Template: QLD driver licence number: 082946135 — Template fixture is excluded

Known false positives

Eight-to-nine-digit payment, customer, account, and registration references. Mitigation: Require the labelled licence-number primary and Queensland context for enforcement.
QLD licence application and renewal forms can contain unrelated form or customer numbers. Mitigation: Do not treat application/form wording as a number label; keep the form SIT separate.
