Oregon Driver License & ID Card PDF417 API

Reading Oregon Card Barcodes in Real Workflows

Oregon dispensaries and outdoor outfitters check many visitor cards in addition to resident licenses and IDs. Rainy-day captures under awnings are frequently dim and soft. PDF417 error correction recovers some damage, but an application should never invent identity values when the barcode cannot be decoded.

One API for Oregon Licenses and ID Cards

Oregon cards are issued by the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV). 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 OR, 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

• Dispensary age checks: Pre-fill names, dates, and address for dispensary age checks and keep final confirmation in your application.
• Outdoor gear rentals: Accept both Oregon licenses and state ID cards, and use document_kind where only a license is acceptable.
• Clinic registration: Send unreadable Oregon barcodes to a retake or manual review step instead of saving partial identity data.

Decode a Oregon Card Back

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image of the full card back. Keep the API key on your server, accept the upload in your backend, and return the capture_issue hint to the user when decoding fails.

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

Illustrative Oregon ID Card Response

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