It is a state by state decision whether to encode data on drivers' licenses or not. Most states currently use the magnetic strip or 2D barcode technology to encode data on state-issued drivers' licenses. Of the states that do encode this data, most have provisions which allow for businesses to scan this data to verify age and identity. Using a cool little program I dug up on the web, and a scanner I was able to decode the barcodes on the back of my NY drivers license, and find out what information people get when they scan it. I'm pretty sure that just decoding the barcode is not illegal, but some of the other things I describe probably are, so let those be just proof of concept.
I am given a task to develop a small library which needs to be able to read PDF417 barcode located on the back of the Driver's License card and parse the data out to our custom object. However I need to know what data types are these Data types denoting? 4/ANS, 10/ANS, 5/ANS, etc. ยง 59.1-443.3. Scanning information from driver's license or identification card; retention, sale, or dissemination of information. No merchant may scan the machine-readable zone of a Department of Motor Vehicles-issued identification card or driver's license, except for the following purposes.
