UK Driving Licence Check Code - Daniel Joseph

Since the introduction of the new paperless UK driving licence information system, has anybody been asked for the "check code" when renting a car abroad? I have rented cars in Europe and the US on numerous occasions and have only been asked for my plastic photocard, never the code (or a printout of the information I always bring with me.)

Yes I have been asked for it in the USA.

However, when hiring a foreign car owned by a foreign branch of the UK hire company in the UK last time, I was not asked for it.
