Car rental: why don't US drivers' licenses show first issue date?

Upvote:0

Because in the US there is absolutely nothing of value of knowing when you received a driver's license for the first time. Either you are licensed to drive or you are not. The only exception is the "under 21" vertical license to help easily identify underage persons for alcohol sales.

Also, there is not a national drivers database, so expecting states to query every other one to see if you had a license there is unrealistic. Again, they don't care when you were licensed to drive, just that you are.
