ID Barcode Reader
royhp.comRead the PDF417 barcode on the back of a US driver's license or state ID. Use the live camera, or — usually more reliable — snap a photo of the barcode. It decodes the AAMVA data and lays out the fields in plain language.
Private by design. The camera feed, photos, and barcode are processed entirely on your device, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere — close the tab and it's gone.
Nothing to scan with
This browser has no camera access and no file upload, so there's no way to read a barcode here. Try a modern browser such as Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox.
Searching for a barcode…
Trouble scanning? Tap “Upload a photo” and snap the barcode with your camera — it focuses far better than the live preview. Fill the frame, hold steady, and use good light.

Tip: the most reliable method is the photo — tap “Upload a photo”, fill the frame with the wide barcode, and let the camera focus. Only the PDF417 (the wide barcode on the back) is read — not the photo or magnetic stripe.
