QUIZ: Indeed, driver's licenses have personal information that could be used for nefarious purposes if the info falls into the wrong hands. And if a paper copy isn't bad enough, some businesses purchase scanners that allow the user to swipe a license, giving the swiper a digital record of your personal information. One of the many apps for sale that can scan driver's license bar codes. IPhone App Store Anyone can buy these scanners. And anyone with a smart phone can download an app that can perform the same scan. Aly and aj into the rush album cover.

So exactly what can be found on your license's two bar codes? 'The information that appears on the front of the document is on the bar code to allow law enforcement to verify the license quickly and accurately,' MVC spokeswoman Mairin Bellack said in an email. That would mean your name, address, height, weight, birth date, license number and signature. We asked about the second bar code — the vertical one on the back of your license — but MVC wouldn't only say it's for 'internal MVC inventory control use.' S driver's license is a secure document with many security features,' Bellack said. 'The more information that is given out, the less secure the document becomes.'

A Hawaii driver’s license or state identification card barcode contains a lot of digitized personal information including your name, address, date of birth, hair color, eye color, height, weight, gender, license expiration date, organ donor status, driver’s license number, fingerprint, medical information, and driver classification code – personal information that you shouldn’t have to share with the rest of the world. Yet increasingly, private businesses are requiring you to show I.D. For everyday purchases – building massive databases of barcode information with every transaction. Because they could – until now. On June 28, 2012, Hawaii passed a law limiting access to your driver’s license barcode. § 487J better protects your privacy by banning private businesses from scanning your driver’s license and collecting, storing, using and/or sharing the personal information contained in the barcode, except in limited circumstances. Before the law passed, a business in Hawaii could swipe the barcode on your driver’s license for any reason, use it in any manner, including selling the information to third parties for marketing, advertising, or promotional activities, and keep your information for as long as it wanted.

Levin said consumers must be vigilant and discerning in handing over their licenses and allowing them to be swiped. 'Since New Jersey has a policy against allowing drivers to smile and/or show teeth on drivers license pictures in order to prevent fraud, why should you have to grin and bear it when it comes to having your personal data swiped at local stores?' 'If it is not absolutely required, just say `no.' ' Big Brother is watching, for sure. And we're not sure we have a complaint about that. What we do have a problem with is when the watchers aren't being forthright and transparent about when they scan, why they scan, what information they get from the scan and how they secure that information. Have you been Bamboozled?

Read the text of the bill: Read the legislative summary of the bill: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What information can a business swipe from my driver’s license or ID card barcode? A: When permitted, a business may collect ONLY your name, address, date of birth, and license number or ID card number. Q: When is it legal for a business to scan the barcode on my ID? A: Hawaii law bans businesses from scanning your driver’s license barcode except in the following cases: • There is a reasonable doubt that you are under 18 years of age and you are buying age restricted goods or services, like cigarettes, alcohol, Nicorette gum, mature video games, or cold medicines; • You pay for something with a credit or debit card, return an item or request a refund or an exchange and the business wants to verify your identity or the authenticity of your driver’s license; • The business is establishing or maintaining a contract with you, like a cell-phone plan contract. Q: Does the new law prohibit a company from making a photocopy of my ID? The law only restricts the scanning of the barcode information.

For example, Feather said, business that sell alcohol or tobacco may use license information for age verification. Those who swipe will make sure the birth date on the front of the license hasn't been tampered with and matches the information on the bar code. 'It is not illegal for businesses to scan your license in order to verify your age or check for fraud, but they are not supposed to collect and market this data,' Levin said. A couple of states have banned the storage of swiped information -- called warehousing -- except in certain circumstances. New Jersey is not one of them.

Can a business sell my information to a third party? Not under the new law.

The information verifies your line of credit and is easier than typing a name and address on the already difficult to use signature pad. You should also consider that any time you swipe a card, sign a pad, enter a PIN, or pay with a cheque, you're trusting that very same machine to handle your financial data. When you pay with cash, you're also trusting that the cash point you withdrew it from didn't have a skimmer installed. Since American POS systems have yet to adapt Chip and PIN card readers completely, scanning your ID for an age-restricted product doesn't reveal any more personal information that swiping a credit card doesn't already. Well,actually, I'm fairly certain there is no law requiring you to be of a certain age before you can purchase 'R' rated movies and 'M' rated games. Think about it, getting your movie 'Content Rated' by the MPAA, by law,is completely optional.

We asked MVC what happens if a Jersey driver refuses to provide a even if the Social Security number is already in the MVC system. Bellack said the submission of Social Security numbers is 'The number will be used to prevent errors, enforce federal and state laws and assist in the collection of motor vehicle fees,' the MVC spokeswoman said.

The only problem with this method is that you would need a high density printer (thermal transfer or laser), and would have to be extremely careful that it printed in the right spot nice and cleanly. Another method could be to clean off the old barcode with acetone, and then print out the new one on a transparency and affix it to your license. The problem with this method are that it would be easy to tell its fake, unless done really carefully.

When Elisabeth Hall visited a doctor earlier this year, the office manager wanted to make a copy of her driver's license. 'I willingly showed him my driver's license but asked him to not make a copy,' Hall said. 'I explained that by viewing it, he could confirm my identity from the picture, but I didn't want a copy of my license made a part of their office records. It contains info which can be used for identity theft and they don't need it.' The manager insisted.

Who has access to it? Exactly what information are they getting from the scan?

We'll let you know what we learn. We then tried to get answers for another Bamboozled reader who had concerns about MVC's use of Social Security numbers. Howard Fischer, a reader who wanted to know if there were consequences for not sharing a Social Security number when renewing a license or registration in New Jersey.

Obviously, if the image on the card doesn't match the image on the screen, the officer will know he's dealing with a forgery and a potentially dangerous situation. I suspect the PDF417 code contains exactly the same data as the magnetic stripe, if the license is so equipped. My state driver license has both.

As one point of solace for protection-concerned citizens, New Jersey does not include Social Security numbers in the 2D bar code, Feather said. PROTECT YOURSELF This all means that means consumers are left with the responsibility of checking up on what every company that asks for a swipe does with the information. We did a little checking.

Did a business just “swipe” your driver’s license or State ID? Concerned about what’s going to happen to the personal information that was just scanned from your driver’s license barcode? YOU SHOULD BE. Invasion of Privacy. Identity theft.

Last week, the state of Illinois released a newly designed driver’s license and identification (ID) card. Although not completely compliant with the federal REAL ID act, the new design does boast a number of upgraded security features that were added to reduce potential identity theft and unlawful license duplication. The temporary paper document applicants will receive while they wait for the permanent card to arrive in the mail. Patch chrono trigger ds rom. The temporary, secure paper document distributed while a citizen waits to receive a permanent card in the mail has a new design as well, and will be valid for 45 days.

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.

As you can see, you can view the information processed, in raw bytes, or in hex. An interesting thing to note is if your card contains your social security number, some states put it on and some states don't.

Hall left and found a different doctor. Hall's husband Kenneth thought she made a smart choice. 'In the case of seniors like me, the doctor already has the Social Security number as it appears on the Medicare card, but they demand the driver's license as well?' Kenneth Hall said.

'If it is not absolutely required, just say `no.' ' Big Brother is watching, for sure. And we're not sure we have a complaint about that.

The two bar codes are a feature of the EDL. The strip along the short edge of the license is a called a one-dimensional bar code, or 1D bar code, Feather said. The strip along the long edge of the driver's license is called a two-dimensional bar code, or 2D. Feather said the 2D bar code is the one that holds the same information as the front of your license.
