The issue date in the Arizona driver's license is placed in the lower right corner of the DLL card. But this is not always the case. Other states have different driver's license designs, so the issue date may be placed differently.

For instance, the driver's license issue date, abbreviated as "ISS" on Alabama Driver's License, is below the address and endorsement section. Another example is Alaska. If you look at the Alaska Driver's License, you may have difficulty spotting the driver's license issue date.

If you look carefully, you'll see that the issue date is next to DOB, which stands for "Date of Birth."
