Gone are the days of complex point-of-sale (POS) or customer relationship management (CRM) systems with this functionality built in. Technology has taken driver’s license parsing to new heights. To extract the information they need from this jumbled mess, companies must use a barcode scanner that can easily analyze, or parse, information such as your street address or birth date. When they scan the 2D barcode, they capture all of your information however, it usually ends up looking like 636015030002DL0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDLDCACDCB RESTRICTIONSDCDNONEDBA EXPERATIONDATEDCS LASTNAMEDCT MIDDLENAME FIRSTNAMEDBD ISSUEDATEDBB DATEOFBIRTHDBC1DAY EYESDAU 79 STREETADDRESSDA CITYDAJ STATEDAK ZIP0000 DAQ LICENSENUMBERDCF0911018100910000000DCGUSADCHNONEDAZBRODCU When businesses scan the 1D, or linear, barcode on the back of your license, they only see your driver’s license number. It also eliminates manual errors that prevent companies from communicating with you. This saves time when filling out an application for a rewards program at your favorite store or verifying your age at events or restaurants. Only on the back, your personal information can be read by a barcode scanner. Those items contain the same information that appears on the front of your driver’s license. Have you ever looked at the back of your driver’s license? Chances are there is a barcode-or two, and maybe even a magnetic strip-on the back.
