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. The Id barcode scanner for driver license barcodes extracts data from 1D and PDF 417 2D barcodes, and provides you with the driver-license barcode image and text data arranged in appropriate text fields. Drivers' licenses also include a 2D barcode, which is easily read with a 2D Barcode Scanner. The data stored on the magnetic stripe of a driver's license includes the following: State or Province.
According to the Card Design Standard by AAMVA, the PDF417 two-dimensional bar code symbology is the minimum mandatory machine-readable technology that must be present on compliant driving license/identification documents. The barcode encodes key information about the cardholder, including name, date of birth, sex, eye color, height and many others.
There are two ways to extract data from a driver license for a machine:

- Using OCR technology to recognize the characters printed on an ID
- Use barcode recognition technology to decode the PDF417 symbology and then parse it into human-readable formats
Generally speaking, the latter is more accurate and cost-effective than the former.
In this article, we discuss how to use Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK for text extraction from a driver license.

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?

Guessing here, but <field length>/ANS, where A is alphabetic, N numeric and S spaces?
For example, 3/A is 3 alphabetic characters like USA.
Funny that weight and sex are both 1/N, but the example given (2 in both cases) fits my hypothesis.

The Washington spec is based on the AAMVA standard here:http://www.aamva.org/DL-ID-Card-Design-Standard/

The PDF 417 barcode specifications start on page 51 (65) of that document. On page 58 (72) they list the type definitions: 'A=alpha A-Z, N=numeric 0-9, S=special, F=fixed length, V=variable length'
Anthony FAnthony F6 A/N means it is a 6 digit or spaced (A)lpha/(N)umeric variable. For example 5'7' could be expressed as a variable that would fit the format as '067 in' (quotation marks only enclosing the actual variable. Very common definition of terms usually found in Database programming. Your variable will always be 6 characters long (including the space character)--3 alpha ( in) and 3 numeric (067).
