This research is now available to our SWIPE Toolkit visitors. We will, however, keep track of the different kinds of information each state encodes on its drivers' licenses. Note: We are not archiving any image files for future use.
The online version is a little bit easier to use, but you will have to upload your barcode image to our server. They both will return the same results the only difference is the stand-alone program allows you to decode locally on your hard drive. We have made two versions of our barcode decoder: an online version and a stand-alone program. Decide if you want to use the online application or stand-alone program to decode your barcode. Please do not upload this image to our server to decode. The barcode has been altered to protect the privacy of the cardholder. (Note: This is for visual comparison purposes only. If you use a digital camera, be sure to point the camera directly at the barcode and the license is level in respect to the lens. For good results, this image must be in sharp focus with high contrast.īased on recent use, our Toolkit participants are getting better results with scanned images than images taken with a digital camera. The license image should be 1000-1500 pixels wide and make sure it is rightside up. The image file size should be roughly 500k to 1.5MB and can not be larger than 2MB. The image you create must be a color GIF file or a very high quality JPEG without compression artifacts. You can either use a scanner or a digital camera to create this image. Make a digital image of your driver's license barcode. If you have information about the encryption schemes used, would like to use the decoder to learn more about the encryption, or have any questions or comments about your state's barcode, please contact us.Ģ.
Older MN barcodes use a different type of barcode that our toolkit does not decode. In addition, IL and KY licenses are mostly encrypted, except for a few fields. Look for a band of black and white squares in a random pattern.Ī Note About 2D Barcodes: Licenses from NC, GA, and possibly UT are encrypted, and we currently cannot decode them. Currently 39 states use the 2D barcode to encode personal information on the backside of drivers' licenses. Check to see if your driver's license has a 2D barcode. NEW: Interactive map comparing the different types of information US states and Canadian provinces encode on drivers' licenses based on Toolkit usage.ġ. Ever noticed the barcode on the backside of your license? Ever wondered what information it stores or why it is even there? Use our online application or the stand-alone program and put an end to the mystery! It is your data, so shouldn't you have a look? Learn more about the 2D barcode and your driver's license. This SWIPE tool allows you to crack a 2D barcode.
