He had a license to steal — but not to drive!

A driver’s license application signed by notorious gangster John Dillinger goes on the auction block later this month.

The application was issued in Mooresville, Ind., in July 1933 when the daring Midwestern bank robber, once dubbed Public Enemy No. 1 by the FBI, had already been illegally behind the wheel for a decade.

Dillinger described himself on the document as a 30-year-old white male, 5-foot- 7 ³/₄, weighing 152 pounds, with brown hair and gray eyes.

And while he told the truth about his size, he lied about his past. The document asks if the applicant had ever been convicted of a felony, to which Dillinger replied, “No.”

He had been released just two months earlier from Indiana State Prison, where he had served 9 ¹/₂ years for assault and battery with intent to commit robbery.

Three weeks before filling out the license application, Dillinger committed his first bank robbery and he and his gang knocked off at least 12 more banks over the next year. He was arrested twice in that period and escaped both times.

The seller of the application, Mike Boyd, 65, a floor-covering salesman from Athens, Ga., told The Post he stumbled upon the document while browsing in a local antique store with his wife in May, and bought it for $2.

The starting bid at the Oct. 25 auction will be $7,000.

Dillinger and his gang were accused of 24 bank jobs and the attempted murder of an Indiana cop. His luck ran out on July 22, 1934, when federal agents gunned him down just seconds after he left the Biograph Theatre on Chicago’s North Side.

Heritage Auctions is conducting the sale.

It’s not known if Dillinger ever got the license.
