When I first got my license in Missouri, by comparing it with thatof my friends I was able to figure out that the first letter of thelicense number was the first letter of my last name (this waspretty obvious), and it also seemed to be true that the next twodigits were the numerical value of the second letter of my lastname (in my case this was U, so the digits were 21). Missouri no longer issues licenses using that numbering scheme anymore, and like most other states that I'm aware of they just useyour social security number if you have one and don't specificallyobject to its use, or a semi-random number they generate if you doobject or don't have an SSN for some reason.
