The license must bear a unique number assigned to the licensee pursuant to NRS 483.345, the licensee’s social security number, if he has one, unless he requests that it not appear on the license, the name, date of birth, mailing address and a brief description of the licensee, and a space upon which the licensee shall write his usual signature in ink immediately upon receipt of the license. A license is not valid until it has been so signed by the licensee.

Such a license is exempt from the fees required by NRS 483.410.
