Travelers from a handful of states - including Pennsylvania - will no longer be able to fly domestically with just their driver's license beginning Jan. That's because, these states have decided not to adopt the federal government's minimum identification card security standards. It's a Handheld 2D Barcode Scanner, and I want to use it to scan the barcode on the back of a driver's license, then populate forms with the resulting data. I'm using a special 'sample' Maryland driver's license for testing, but it conforms to the AAMVA standards for universal license data coding.

These rules are subject to change without notice.Commonwealth Subreddits.Colleges. Trying to do the same thing you did. I was told I could purchase a replacement camera card in person for $5. Only problem is, I can't tell whether a driver license center / photo license center will do this.
When I search the DMV's site for locations offering 'Drivers license renewal', it implies that only an 'on-line messenger service' can do it (and they have their own additional fees). For the record, I'm referencing this list of services page:Also I assume that the photo card won't magically arrive within 5 days, but maybe you were pleasantly surprised?DMV communications are pretty much limited to slow, 48hr at a time emails. So thanks for any help!!!.
The DL/ID parser is fairly simple and doesn't work perfectly on IDs from all states, unfortunately. There might be some jurisdiction-specific fields that are tripping it up, or they might not be using a fully spec-compliant encoding.We'd like to improve it - if you'd like to help, the anonymized raw text of the non-working cards would be helpful in diagnosing the problem. However, if you aren't comfortable sharing it (or just aren't sure how to completely remove all identifying information) that's okay too! Sure, here is the raw data from the scanner. Actually, please disregard the earlier sample I posted; I'm not sure why, but escaping the string correctly and dumping it on a single line made the prefices and suffices I was expecting show up.These samples are also from Oregon and don't register as driver's licenses, even though they do have the @n rANSI prefix.
Ah, my mistake. These should match the original byte positions:@nNrANSI DL00390285ZO03240027DLDAQ1234567 nDAALASTN, FIRST MIDDLE nDAG nDAL5555 NE NNTH AVE nDAIPORTLAND nDAJORnDAK97215 nDARC I nDASBD nDAT nDAU009nDAW135nDBAYYYYMMDDnDBBYYYYMMDDnDBC1nDBDYYYYMMDDnrZOZOAFIRST LICENSED YYYYMMDDr@nrANSI DL00390192ZO02310031DLDAQ1234567nDAALASTN, FIRST MIDDLEnDAGnDAL55555 NE ANOTHER DR APT 101nDAIBEAVERTONnDAJORnDAK97006 nDARC nDASBD nDAT nDAU509nDAW135nDBAYYYYMMDDnDBBYYYYMMDDnDBC1nDBDYYYYMMDDnZOZOAFIRST LICENSED MM-DD-YYYYn. Can someone fill me in on the exact format including the /n and /r?
Also, what is the diamond character with the questionmark in it? Anyone know?/n is line feed that separates the individual data objects in the record. /r is carriage return that as far as I can tell helps locate beginning and end to the record. For example in the Arizona DL AAMVA 2D barcode the record is ended with (nnr) this is the only occurrence of this pattern so I can easly know when the record is completely read. The diamond is actual what's called a record separator 'rs'. When decoding the buffer it has no clue what it is.
In javascript I was able to use it to denote the start of the record in an Arizona DL using this code: str.includes('u001er'+'ANSI') record separator, carriage return and 'ANSI' is the beginning of the record.
