In my opinion, sentences (2) and (3) are both OK.

Hi Contrex

I forgot to mention. Shouldn't it be 'driving license'?

Depends where you are. In the UK it's "driving licence" with a C.

I was referring to 'driver's licence'. Shouldn't it be driving licence?

This is a perennial favourite ("favorite"). In the both the US and UK, the verb is spelt "license". In the UK the noun is spelt "licence". The government licenses people to drive cars. The document issued to motorists is called a "driving licence".

In that other country, the document is called a "driver's license".

Also, in that other country, "spelt" becomes "spelled".
