Definitions
Driving license is the American English spelling of the document that legally permits a person to operate a motor vehicle. In British English the standard spelling is 'driving licence' (with a C), while American publications use 'driving license' (with an S). The document itself is the same thing worldwide — the government-issued ID you hand over when a cop pulls you over — but the spelling difference trips people up constantly in international contexts.
