Driver license extractor: license data without typing

Licenses from five regions, read consistently

Driver licenses are the most commonly presented identity document, and among the most varied, differing by state and province even within one country. The driver license extractor covers US, UK, EU, Canadian, and Australian licenses and returns one consistent record.

Fields captured

• License number
• Full name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Issuing state / province / authority
• Date of issue and date of expiry
• License class
• Restrictions and endorsements
• Barcode (PDF417) data where present

Barcode-verified extraction

North American licenses carry a PDF417 barcode encoding the license record. The extractor parses it and reconciles it with the printed front of the card, catching worn cards, bad photos, and altered documents before they enter your workflow.

Common workflows

• Driver onboarding and carrier compliance checks
• KYC verification for credit applications
• Pickup and will-call identity confirmation at the counter

Expiry dates are extracted as structured dates, so downstream automation can flag expired or soon-to-expire licenses automatically. Related tools: the passport extractor and government ID card extractor.
