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

    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
