According to the e-mail, driver’s license numbers are issued by series. For example, license numbers H0001001 through H0999999 were issued from Sept. 11, 1957, through Jan. At that time, the driver’s license numbers were assigned in sequential order by processing personnel at DMV headquarters. The DMV currently is working on the series E3000000 through E3999999. Because of computerization, each individual office is now assigned an inventory of driver’s license numbers that are is loaded into a processor and assigned in sequential order to each application for a driver’s license or identification card.

Losing your California drivers license may seem like the worst, but we got you! They'll also need a valid form of identification to go along with their licensing.

Neither the letter nor the numbers have any meaning except as noted above. Not that this would provide much insight, but like Social Security numbers where the first three digits can tell you where the person was living when he or she applied for the card, one could use the numbering system to determine how long someone has had a license. As for increasing the frequency of my column, I share this space with Gary Bogue and Pat Craig, and unless one of them wants to give up a slot, I’m limited to Saturdays.

I think I could take Pat in a winner-take-all grudge match, but Gary’s a wiry guy. He is planning on going on a rattlesnake hunt, though, so there’s a window of opportunity. (Just kidding, Gary.) Dear Joan: Do you have any information on a company called “Magazine Offer Center”?

They send out what look suspiciously like legitimate invoices for magazines I already subscribe to, except that their subscription rates are about twice the actual rates. They send out their “invoices” in a plain envelope with no return address. Their “invoice” has no phone number, but it does have a watermark that reads “Magazine Processing Center, Inc.” Their mailing address is Magazine Offer Center in Muncie, Ind. — Bill J., cyberspace Dear Bill: There is a possibility that this is a legitimate company, but everything points to it being an old scam that hundreds, if not thousands, have fallen victim to over the years.

I found a legitimate business by the name of Magazine Process Center, but it’s nowhere near Indiana. And I found other businesses by that name with scores of consumer complaints against it, including one whose owner was convicted of fraud for selling nonexistent subscriptions. As far as I could determine, the address you provided me is to a commercial mailbox center, and that doesn’t bode well at all. Although you haven’t sent them any money, you might want to contact the state or federal Attorney General’s Office. I’m sure there are others who might not have been so cautious, and it’s important to alert officials as soon as possible. There are legitimate businesses that sell magazine subscriptions, but to be on the safe side, it’s best to deal with the magazine directly.

And when you start getting renewal notices, always check the label on your magazine to determine when your subscription expires. Send your questions to Joan’s World, c/o the Times, P.O. Box 8099, Walnut Creek, CA,.
