Dmv Barcode Generator
Easily encode your data into a 2D barcode using the PDF417 format.
Licensed under the MIT License, see LICENSE.
CLI
The pdf417gen command can be used to generate a barcode from commandline. Ittakes the input either as an argument or from stdin.
Usage
Creating bar codes is done in two steps:
- Encode a string to a list of code words using encode()
- Render the barcode using one of the rendering functions: render_image(),render_svg().
Usage overview:
Supports strings (unicode in py2) and byte arrays (str in py2):
Encoding data
The first step is to encode your data to a list of code words.
Columns
The bar code size can be customized by defining the number of columns used torender the data, between 1 and 30, the default value is 6. A bar code can have amaximum of 90 rows, so for larger data sets you may need to increase the numberof columns to decrease the rows count.
Security level
Increasing the security level will produce stronger (and more numerous) errorcorrection codes, making the bar code larger, but less prone to corruption. Thesecurity level can range from 0 to 8, and procuces 2^(level+1) errorcorrection code words, meaning level 0 produces 2 code words and level 8produces 512. The default security level is 2.
Auto Numeric Compaction Mode
This mode can pack almost 3 digits (2.93) info a symbol character.The words with length less 13 symbols will be invoked as Text
Render image
The render_image function takes the following options:
- scale - module width, in pixels (default: 3)
- ratio - module height to width ratio (default: 3)
- padding - image padding, in pixels (default: 20)
- fg_color - foreground color (default: #000000)
- bg_color - background color (default: #FFFFFF)
Note
A module is the smallest element of a barcode, analogous to a pixel. Modulesin a PDF417 bar code are tall and narrow.
The function returns a Pillow Image object containing the barcode.

Colors can be specified as hex codes or using HTML color names.
Render SVG
The render_svg function takes the following options:
- scale - module width, in pixels (default: 3)
- ratio - module height to width ratio (default: 3)
- padding - image padding, in pixels (default: 20)
- color - foreground color (default: #000000)
The function returns a ElementTree object containing the barcode in SVG format.
Unlike render_image, this function does not take a background color option.The background is left transparent.

According to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) specification, PDF417 symbology is used for storing personal information on US driver licenses. It comprises critical information about the cardholder, such as their name, gender, date of birth, height, etc. Many organizations, both government and private, use the driver’s license for identification purposes and age verification.
Barcode recognition technology is considered more accurate and cost-effective than OCR for extracting data. Because the driver’s license is widely accepted as a form of identification in different areas and is considered the primary method of identification in countries like the US, it is imperative to use a barcode reader that accurately reads and extracts the data.
Cross-platform and Cross-device ID Barcode Scanner
Dynamsoft Barcode SDK is designed to read barcodes from a variety of platforms and devices. Below are some of the ways you can use the barcode SDK for reading the PDF417 and extracting information on driver licenses.
Read from document scanners: decode driver’s licenses in web
Working together with Dynamic Web TWAIN, the barcode reader add-on allows you to scan a picture of a US driver’s license from a document scanner and extract data from PDF417.
Read from cameras: decode driver’s licenses in web
Dynamsoft JavaScript Barcode SDK provides high-performance barcode scanning functionality for web developers. It also offers built-in camera module APIs, making the process of creating an HTML5 barcode reader with cameras extremely convenient.
Read from cameras: decode driver’s licenses in mobile native apps
With Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK for iOS and Android, developers can easily create a barcode reader app to extract information from PDF417 codes on driver’s licenses.
PDF417 Driver's License Parser
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK is capable of quickly parsing PDF417 barcode symbology. Once decoded, a parser is required to convert the information contained in the barcode into human-readable formats.
The parser breaks down the decoded PDF417 values into field-value pairs, such as cardholder’s name, eye color, height, date of birth, etc.
An example of parsed PDF417 values is shown below:
- First Name
- HEIDIFIRSTNAMEUPTO40CHARACTERSXYWXYWXYWX

Case Studies
Free Pdf417 Barcode Generator
- Millennial Vision, Inc.
- VALID USA, Inc
Millennial Vision, Inc. (MVi) is known for providing enterprise content management and document management solutions to credit unions and various financial institutions across the United States and the Caribbean. While looking for a robust barcode reader SDK, MVi tried Dynamsoft Barcode SDK and selected it for its simplicity, power, and cost-effectiveness.
Our barcode reader SDK helps MVi scan PDF417 barcodes from driver’s licenses and further use the extracted data to auto-populate metadata fields for financial institution forms and applications.
Another essential factor in MVi’s decision to choose Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK was the time to market. With DBR, they saved a lot of time that would have been required to develop a barcode reader solution in-house.
VALID USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of its Brazilian parent company VALID S.A, was looking for an image capture software development kit (SDK) for its popular product, WebLink ID. WebLink ID is an enrolment, credentials, and application management web app. The application is used for issuing mass student IDs, transit cards, access control cards, ID documents, and state driver’s licenses. Thus, document scanning/image capture capabilities were a requirement for the software. But, VALID did not want to build this capability from scratch in order to focus on its core expertise.
After trying and testing many products, VALID chose Dynamsoft's ImageCapture Suite SDK, which helped them shorten time to market and build better software.
Today, the application is used by thousands of workers to capture millions of images annually in diverse environments. Some of these are K-12 and higher education institutions, US state governments, the public transit industry, and many other vertical markets that require photo identification.
