No, not your driver license.  It's your employer's state id #.  But if box 17 is blank then leave all boxes 15-17 Blank, no spaces.

No not your driver's license. your employer's state identification number. if you don't have a state income tax boxes 15-17 must be left blank.

if you do have a state income tax use the federal EIN (box b) as your state EIN
