Driving license, driver's license, and driver license are all correct depending on how you are refering to it.
It is a driver license.
It's the driver's license [to drive].
It's a driving license, because it allows the driver to drive.
Though for the last one, the person would likely have to be familiar with english idioms, otherwise it could sound like the license is what is driving.

It all depends on the country or state. In British English, they say "driving licence". In the US, we usually say "driver's license", but the official version in some states is "driver license". Just look on the front of your license and see what it says. That's the official version in your state.

Out of all you posted only two could possibly be correct:
driving license and driver's license.
All depends on where you from as to what the say out of the two :)
