Birth date?

The words "ne(e) le" followed by a date: Does this indicate one's birth date?

(Found on a French language driver's license)

"Ne(e) le" is followed by the date of birth of the person. What is the equivalent in English: Born on...?

I would say, in English, I was born on...... and would say in Français, Je suis né le...... It is the same....

I understand that, zipper. But on official documents such as driver's licenses, passports... the whole sentence is not indicated. In France, you find "Né(-e) le" followed by the date. I think in the States, you should have something like "Born on: 06/13/53" for example but could you confirm?

On my license it has DOB...Date Of Birth...Date de Naissance...
Dear Aurayfrance and Zippermonkeyboy-

Thank you for your help in translating. My high school French was a long, long (!!!) time ago. Much appreciated!

Merci!

In American English, an official document such as adriver's license, would commonly identifiy the date of birth as either (a) d.o.b. or (b) birthdate.
he everyone,
in a business context, could we talk about the date of birth of a company?

and also could we say Capital stock for capital social?

thanks a million!!!
