- Feb 23, 2012 Pretty dumb question but don't want to put in the wrong information. I'm filling out my FAFSA application for college and it asks for my driver's license number, except I really am not sure where that is. If someone would kindly tell me where it's located it would be greatly appreciated! If it helps, it's a Michigan driver's license.
