The database not being updated with the recent change is a high possibility as all government offices are behind. A different format could also have an effect. I am not an employee of AL so I can't be sure. I would think that the old format would be fine until everyone is updated.
I wonder if adding a zero in front would create the 10 digits needed. You can try it. If it doesn't work, blame the database.
It may be worth contacting the state to find out about the database and license format. See Contact Us.
