Is only the printed information(name,address,etc.) available from the strip?

I doubt that they are encrypted, though. But I could be completely wrong, as I have never worked with drivers licenses. But here is why I do not think they would be. I am originally from MD, and when I was in MD about a year and a half ago, all the clubs and liqueur stores had card readers that when they took your DL, they swiped it and it displayed your age to them, ensuring that it was not fake and was real. I would imagine this data could not be retrieved if it was encrypted and I doubt they would make the key publicly available if it was encrypted. Thanks!

Wouldn't DL information somehow be encrypted?

Anyway, I have worked with magnetic card readers using Java, and it really was not a hard task to do, with Smart Cards and credit cards anyway. You can pick up the readers for about 80 dollars or so, at least you could about 8 months ago, the last time I worked with them. I would contact the vendor to make sure that it will read a drivers license, though. A good place to start would be http://www.javapos.com/index.html If you can use the smart card readers, there are a few java and C products out there that can get you on your way. Check out the Javapos site, thanks Sun!, for some really good information to start with. Thanks!
