Georgia's
New Driver's
License Barcode
Georgia's new driver's licenses and IDs are more secure and harder to counterfeit. An important security feature is the barcode on the back of all Driver's License's and ID cards. In addition to added security, the barcode enables our business partners a method to quickly verify and capture the data presented by customers. For example, law enforcement would be able to capture data from a license when issuing traffic citations. Retailers can swipe lDs to verify age and for fraud detection.
Scanning and use of the information contained in the barcode must conform to O.C.G.A. 40-5-120 (5), and parties interested in reading the barcode should ensure the proper procedures and safeguards are in place for complying.
Barcode technology is a popular method for states to store personal information on a driver's license. The new Georgia Driver's License and ID cards include a PDF-417 barcode, which is supported by a wide variety of barcode scanner manufacturers.
All the information printed on the front of a Driver's License or ID is contained in the barcode. This includes the card holder's name, address, date of birth, and physical attributes. Furthermore limitations and/or endorsements on licensed drivers are also included in the PDF-417 barcode.

A barcode scanner capable of reading a PDF-417 barcode and software to display the information to the user is needed for businesses to interpret the data contained in the barcode. Users should follow the barcode scanner manufacturers' instructions to properly scan the barcode. Georgia's newly designed cards contain a bar code that is compliant with AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) standards, which can be found on the AAMVA website at http://www.aamva.org/. The barcode contained on the new Georgia Driver's Licenses and ID cards issued after 11/30/2009 is not encrypted, although barcodes found on the old PVC Driver's License and ID cards are encrypted.
