Oklahoma Driver License & ID Card PDF417 API

Decode the PDF417 barcode on Oklahoma driver licenses and state ID cards into AAMVA JSON, with document_kind to tell licenses from ID cards.

Reading Oklahoma Card Barcodes in Real Workflows

Oklahoma has a dense network of medical cannabis dispensaries and casinos with high repeat traffic. Fast lines and worn cards make clean barcode images harder to get. PDF417 error correction recovers some damage, but an application should never invent identity values when the barcode cannot be decoded.

One API for Oklahoma Licenses and ID Cards

Oklahoma cards are issued by the Service Oklahoma. Licenses and identification cards carry the same AAMVA DL/ID PDF417 barcode on the back. Send the back image to the StructOCR PDF417 API: it decodes the barcode deterministically, normalizes the jurisdiction to OK, and returns document_kind as driver_license or id_card. Test a non-sensitive sample in the free PDF417 scanner. For the printed front of the card, use the Driver License OCR API.

Where This Workflow Fits

  • Medical dispensary check-in: Pre-fill names, dates, and address for medical dispensary check-in and keep final confirmation in your application.
  • Casino registration: Accept both Oklahoma licenses and state ID cards, and use document_kind where only a license is acceptable.
  • Energy workforce onboarding: Send unreadable Oklahoma barcodes to a retake or manual review step instead of saving partial identity data.

Decode a Oklahoma Card Back

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image of the full card back. Show a live guide frame, block submission when the barcode is cut off, and offer an instant retake after a 422 response.

Prerequisite: A server-side StructOCR API key and a clear image of the complete card back

curl -X POST https://api.structocr.com/v1/driver-license-pdf417 \
  -H "x-api-key: $STRUCTOCR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@oklahoma-card-back.jpg"

Technical Specs

  • •Endpoint: POST https://api.structocr.com/v1/driver-license-pdf417
  • •Document scope: Back of a Oklahoma driver license or state ID card with an AAMVA PDF417 record
  • •Inputs: JPG, PNG, or WebP; Base64 JSON or multipart upload; maximum 4.5 MB
  • •Cost: 2 credits for a successful decode; processing failures are refunded
  • •Region output: OK when encoded in a valid Oklahoma record; document_kind separates licenses from ID cards
  • •Important: Parsing barcode data does not by itself authenticate the credential or the person presenting it

Key Features

  • •Deterministic source: Returned identity fields come from the decoded barcode payload, not generative guessing.
  • •Retake-safe errors: PDF417_NOT_DECODED and AAMVA_NOT_VALID return explicit 422 responses, with an optional capture_issue hint.
  • •License or ID card: document_kind reports which record the barcode carries; ID cards return null license class, restrictions, and endorsements.
  • •Local demand: Built for medical cannabis dispensaries, tribal casinos, and energy employers.

Illustrative Oklahoma ID Card Response

This response uses wholly fictional data to show a OK identification card. A license returns document_kind driver_license and its class fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the API read Oklahoma state ID cards as well as driver licenses?

Yes, when the back of the card carries a usable AAMVA record. The response sets document_kind to id_card for identification cards and driver_license for licenses.

Does a successful Oklahoma decode prove the card is genuine?

No. It proves a usable barcode payload was decoded and parsed. Authenticity, identity, eligibility, and fraud decisions require separate controls.

What should the app do after a 422 response?

Ask for a new photo of the full Oklahoma card back in even light, using the capture_issue hint when present. Do not fill missing fields from an uncertain barcode.
