Collapse adjacent identical digits into a single digit of that value.Ĥ. Replace consonants with digits as follows (but do not change the first letter):ģ. If "h", "w" separate two consonants with the same soundex code, change consonants to right of the vowel into "h" until they have the same soundex codeĢ. The correct value can be found as follows:ġ. However if "h" or "w" separate two consonants that have the same soundex code, the consonant to the right of the vowel is not coded. Vowels can affect the coding, but are not coded themselves except as the first letter. Similar sounding consonants share the same digit so, for example, the labials B, F, P, and V are each encoded as 1. The Soundex code for a name consists of a letter followed by three digits: the letter is the first letter of the name, and the digits encode the remaining consonants. The first chunk of numbers is the soundex coding of your last name. Its kinda scary.īasically there are 4 parts to IL drivers license numbers. I generated my brother's id# last night and called him up to double check. On the site they have an applet for inputing ID# and getting info, and one for inputing info and generating ID#. I ended up stumbling across this super interesting site. For some reason, last night I had an obsession with finding out what info is coded in my drivers license and how the number is determined.
