Driver's license support:
The Positive Access software supports states, territories, and provinces that have digital data on their driver's licenses as follows:

 

Both or either MS/2D:

63

 

MS and 2D:

15

 

MS only:

 9

 

2D only:

39

MS = magnetic stripe,
2D = 2D bar code.

* Georgia Support:
Positive Access has been authorized by the State of Georgia to parse its encrypted driver's licenses; and it has procured the development solution. The solution for this parsing requires that a hardware dongle be installed at each site. Please contact Positive Access to discuss this capability.

INS (USCIS) Support:
Positive Access can read the Home Land Security (INS) Employee Authorization Card. Positive Access can read both the magnetic stripe and the 2D bar code on this card.

Defense Department Support:
Positive Access is authorized to report information from the 2D bar code printed on the DOD military CAC and USID cards.

Credit Card Support:
The Positive Access software supports reporting the cardholder's name, account number and expiration date from the magnetic stripe on the following major credit cards:
 Visa
 Diners
 Carte Blanche
 American Express
 Japan Bank Card
 Mastercard
 Discover

Some states have more than one version of their format in circulation. Positive Access has programmed IDecode to recognize and automatically compensate for many of these variations. As new information concerning these variations become available, Positive Access will release updates to the software
