Information contained in 2D barcode on VA Drivers licenses

This one is quick, I promise.

Last week I got asked a question as to what information is actually contained in the 2D barcode on VA drivers licenses. I didn’t know the answer, so I did some digging.

First of all, I found the following information available on the VA DMV website: https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/documents/barcode_calibration.pdf

I also was able to find a 2D QR code reader application that would allow anyone to scan their own 2D barcodes and see what information is contained in them. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/qr-reader-plus-2d-barcode/id1263976468

In case anyone else was curious.
