License data: id, date issue, date expires.Physical data: weight, height, eye and hair color.US/Canada Driver License / ID Information This is a decimal value between 00 and 99 that specifies the version level of the PDF417 bar code format. 2D barcode technology is currently the most popular method for state DMVs (Department of Motor Vehicles) to store personal information on a driver's license. Even though AAMVA has published best practices, standards and specifications covering DL/ID cards and the bar codes for other documents for years, inconsistencies in the implementation of those guidelines continue to occur. AAMVA strongly encourages its member jurisdictions to regularly take advantage of the CVP. These barcodes are small, error resistant, and can encode a lot of information.
Thankfully, new driver’s licenses also have PDF417 barcodes on them, and in North America, follow specifications laid out by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA).
