Is my passport number on a provisional licence?

I need to find a copy of my passport number, but I can't find my passport at the moment.

On my provisional driving licence, there is a number - I only applied for it a few months ago and they asked for my passport.

Quick reply would be great!

    Afraid not, that's probably your driving license number. Totally different, sorry :o

    Although this raises a good point why are all these numbers not the same?

    NI
    Drivers Licence
    Passport etc

    Once you have one you have them all, much more open to fraud etc...

    Don't go suggesting that, you'll have the anti-identity card Mafia burning your back door down
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
