The data stored on magnetic stripes on American driver's licenses is specified by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Not all states use a magnetic stripe on their driver's licenses. For a list of those that do, see the AAMVA list of US License Technology. The AAMVA site also contains a list of the Canadian jurisdictions that use magnetic stripes on their driver's licenses.

The following data is stored on track 1:[5]

  • Start Sentinel - one character (generally '%')
  • State or Province - two characters
  • City - variable length (seems to max out at 13 characters)
  • Field Separator - one character (generally '^') (absent if city reaches max length)
  • Last Name - variable length
  • Field Separator - one character (generally '$')
  • First Name - variable length
  • Field Separator - one character (generally '$')
  • Middle Name - variable length
  • Field Separator - one character (generally '^')
  • Home Address (house number and street) - variable length
  • Field Separator - one character (generally '^')
  • Unknown - variable length
  • End Sentinel - one character (generally '?')

The following data is stored on track 2:

  • ISO Issuer Identifier Number (IIN) - 6 digits
  • Drivers License / Identification Number - 13 digits
  • Field Separator — generally '='
  • Expiration Date (YYMM) - 4 digits
  • Birth date (YYYYMMDD) - 8 digits
  • DL/ID# overflow- 5 digits (If no information is used then a field separator is used in this field.)
  • End Sentinel - one character ('?')

The following data is stored on track 3:

  • Template V#
  • Security V#
  • Postal Code
  • Class
  • Restrictions
  • Endorsements
  • Sex
  • Height
  • Weight
  • Hair Color
  • Eye Color
  • ID#
  • Reserved Space
  • Error Correction
  • Security

Note: Each state has a different selection of information they encode, not all states are the same. Note: Some states, such as Texas,[6] have laws restricting drivers licenses being swiped under certain circumstances.

American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators

The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) is a non-governmental, voluntary, tax-exempt, nonprofit educational association. AAMVA is a private corporation which strives to develop model programs in motor vehicle administration, police traffic services, and highway safety. The association serves as an information clearinghouse for these same disciplines, and acts as the international spokesman for these interests. The association is composed of Motor Vehicle and Law Enforcement Administrators and Executives from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Canadian Territories and Provinces. Although Canadian jurisdictions are members of AAMVA, Canada also has a distinctly separate but similar organization, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), which more directly establishes governance of driver & vehicle matters for provinces and territories. At least two Mexican states have been AAMVA members at some time. The U,S. Virgin Islands are current members of AAMVA as well as the District of Columbia.

The association is divided into four separate regions, primarily by geography, encompassing all North American members. Each region holds annual meetings with the entire membership meeting once per year. Within the membership are committees and task forces which meet typically on a quarterly basis.

Methodology

As an association representing the state and provincial officials in the United States and Canada who administer and enforce motor vehicle laws, AAMVA facilitates communication and fosters standardization among member jurisdictions concerning traffic safety, titling of motor vehicles, and licensing drivers. AAMVA represents its U.S. and Canadian membership by working collaboratively to support and improve motor vehicle administration, safety, identification security and law enforcement. AAMVA also communicates the consensus views of members to the public, state legislatures, Congress, and other organizations such as the American Trucking Association, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and the National Governors Organization.

Some of the items found in AAMVA's policy statements include:

  1. states' participation in the proposed Driver License Agreement
  2. passing laws against Radar/Laser Detectors and Jammers
  3. regulating tinted windows
  4. states issuing front/back license plates

The AAMVA also publishes the technical standards for driver's licenses compliant with the Real ID Act including anti-counterfeiting measures and machine-readable technologies such as a PDF417 barcode on the reverse side.[1]

The AAMVA also operates the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS), which is a system that enables jurisdictions to exchange commercial driver information, including out-of-state convictions, in accordance with the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act. AAMVA also supports the Problem Driver Pointer System, which is a system that enables jurisdictions to report serious convictions and withdrawals of drivers to the National Driver Register operated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

AAMVA also oversees the International Registration Plan. They provide staff support to the Joint Executive Board for the Driver License Compact and Non-Resident Violator Compact and the Driver License Agreement.

AAMVA also maintains the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) which enables vehicle titling agencies to verify the information on a title with the issuing state's electronic records in order to reduce vehicle theft and fraud. The Anti Car Theft Act of 1992 specified that the information within NMVTIS be available to federal, state, and local law enforcement officials, insurance carriers, and other prospective purchasers (e.g., individuals, auction companies, and used car dealers). By making this information available across jurisdictions, forms of title fraud such as "title washing" are reduced. Title washing occurs when the condition of a vehicle due to flood, junk, or salvage (known as a "brand"), as previously documented by a state, is lost when the title travels to another state putting an unsuspecting buyer at risk of paying more than a vehicle is worth or operating a vehicle inadequately repaired and potentially unsafe to drive.

History

The organization came into existence in 1933 with the idea of standardizing driver's licensing and traffic laws. In more recent years, AAMVA has pushed very hard for the one driver, one license, one record concept as found in the Driver License Compact and the newly created Driver License Agreement, especially since the events of September 11, 2001.

Meetings

Each year, the administration holds a meeting somewhere in the U.S., with the state hosting making special license plates for all attendees.

Now these are things I found to deactivate this strip.

When you go to Home Depot or wherever there's a 18-inch-square demagnetization pad at the checkout counter. It says "No not Place Credit Cards on this pad. DANGER." There you go!

Can the magnetic strip on my driver's license be messed up if I had it in my pocket durin an x-ray?

I accidentally left my California driver's license in my back pocket while taking an x-ray. I know this rarely happens, but on occasion, it is actually swiped, instead of just looked at, like at a bar, for instance, to verify its validity. If I take my license to such a bar, will it not work in the scanner/swiper thing? Should I get a new one.

I think you are confused about what type of imaging will erase magnetic strips. The magnet used in MRI imaging will erase these strips.....x-ray will not. Magnets are not used in x-ray.

"If you keep your clothes on, empty your pockets of any coins and cards (such as credit cards or ATM cards) with scanner strips on them because the MRI magnet may erase the information on the cards."

How do you disable a magnetic strip? Answer:

It's called a magnetic strip for a reason, and usually checkouts that use anti-theft devices will have a sign that says keep magnetic strips away from a certain area (the cashier usually rubs the item over the area to disable the device). You can do the same thing. Use a strong magnet, and rub it several times over the strip.

fight the magnet w/ a magnet, rub that thing across a speaker magnet several times, now a polarized blank strip....ooops

Why most States going to the lovely RFID chip method....but then that's what microwave ovens are for ;)

You can also buy a set of bucky balls, they are very powerful magnets able to do the same thing and portable.

ben-wai bucky balls you say???...sounds interesting.

neodymium ....small....powerful...free energy type material ;)

I got a few thousand myself. They can really offer some insight into Sacred Geometry & how stuff forms in the material plane.

And in case of a microchip you can drill a hole through it.

So the devices that crooks use to swipe by a purse or wallet to collect your credit card information is also collecting all of the info from your DL. This is so comforting..
