The Ohio state identification number is located to the right of the picture and just below the address listed. The number you are looking for is the license number.

Under the new enhanced ID system, there's a 2nd # on the DL / ID card that's confusing. Do not use the number identified as 5 DD-REF*. 

 

 

*DD is an abbreviation for Document Discriminator. A number of states started adding this piece of information to their driver's licenses several years ago. The DD is a security code that identifies where and when the license was issued. It, thus, uniquely identifies each card for a given individual

this is not true on newer IDs. Looking at one issued in 2023 and the number is above the name and address, not below.
