AAMVA Barcode Result

Defined under the namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Id

AAMVABarcodeResult
class AAMVABarcodeResult

Added in version 6.8.0

Information obtained from the PDF417 barcode of an AAMVA-compliant personal identification document.

The ID Capture supports all versions of the Driver License and Identification Standard published by AAMVA (personal identification documents used, for example, in the US and Canada). Some pre-Standard barcodes (documents issued before 2000) may also be successfully parsed, if their format doesn’t differ much from the version 1 of the Standard. Encrypted barcodes issued in the US State of Georgia before 2012 are currently not supported.

The encoding of card holder information has changed significantly between revisions of the DL/ID specification (most notably between 2000 codes and later codes) and the same piece of information is encoded differently, depending on the version.

In addition, the implementations of the specification vary strongly between jurisdictions, as many of them don’t implement the specifications correctly. If you are experiencing trouble when scanning certain DL/ID cards, we suggest to contact the Scandit team to resolve the issues.

barcodeDataElements
get barcodeDataElements(): object<string, string>

Added in version 6.8.0

The mappings between all the barcode data element IDs and their values. The keys of this collection are the element IDs as defined in the AAMVA Driver License/Identification specification. For example, the specification defines a data element “Customer First Name” with the ID “DAC”. Therefore if a scanned barcode contains a string “DACMICHAEL”, then this collection will contain a mapping with “DAC” as the key and “MICHAEL” as the value. This collection contains all the data elements of the barcode - including those that are exposed also explicitly as fields of this class.

See Barcode Data Elements for all the possible keys and their meaning.
