They call the license number into a computer system. This will check the driving record. It will also insure that it is a valid drivers license. the system will also check the license against any outstanding warrants to see if the driver is wanted for anything.

Type: ORG identifies your drivers license as the original. Type: COR means your drivers license has been corrected e.g. new address.

If you have a drivers license in two different states and your insurance company only has one drivers license can they find out about a ticket on the other one?

Yes, if they run your information through the interstate system. When you apply for auto insurance, the insurance company checks your driving history via your name/dob/social security/drivers license number. The insurance company can see tickets/accidents recorded in other states and will base your insurance rate upon your driving history. If you have a drivers license in two different states, you are committing a crime in at least one state.
