Written by: Dave Sullivan, senior VP, sales and marketing, Datalogic ScanningSupport Retail Customers in Selling Regulated ItemsRetailers who sell regulated goods such as alcohol and tobacco must follow U.S. Local, state, and federal requirements to accurately verify a customer's age and identity. To enable Retailers to more effectively comply with government regulations, it is important to offer your retailers a choice of bar code scanners which can simplify (or automate) the verification process by reading and sending the pertinent data found within the bar codes on Government issued identification cards including most state driver’s licenses.Reading and sending the data found within the bar codes on Government issued identification cards, including most state driver’s licenses to the point-of-sale, quickly verifies and assures the customer’s legal age.
This helps in protecting the retailer from fines and the potential loss of their license to sell age restricted goods. Editor's NoteI received a question from a reader concerning the above article. Dave Sullivan, senior VP, sales and marketing at Datalogic Scanning provided the answer.Question: There was no discussion of the legality of scanning this data in the article. My understanding is that some state have stated this data is for government use only, therefore making it illegal to scan this data. Any thoughts?Sullivan: That is true. It is a state by state decision whether to encode data on drivers' licenses or not. Most states currently use the magnetic strip or 2D barcode technology to encode data on state-issued drivers' licenses.

Of the states that do encode this data, most have provisions which allow for businesses to scan this data to verify age and identity. Some states are starting to regulate this practice. For example in New Hampshire and Texas businesses are not allowed to save data scanned from drivers' licenses for any purpose.
