🔒 Closed Which is correct: "driver license", "driver's license", or "drivers license"?

[plhbg1]

In the US, as we've always seen it, “driver’s license”.
It’s a licence for a single driver, so the singular possessive, “driver’s”, is used.

In the UK, they don’t use any of those terms. They use “driving licence”.
Only the verb is spelled “license” – the noun is “licence”.
As for “driver’s” versus “driving” it’s just a difference of convention.
Essentially, they treat it as being a licence to drive, rather than a licence for a driver.

“Driver’s license” is the proper term, as is pilot’s license, and so on. You have to take a test.

A “driving license (UK- licence) ” implies that you do not know how to drive, analogous to a fishing license, for which you do not need to demonstrate that you know how to fish.
