well of course its a REAL FAKE arizona drivers license
that the folks at ADOT sent me. if you want a fake drivers
license (along with the data on how the mag stripe is laid
out) write them or call
Arizona Department of Transportation
Motor Vehicle Division
Customer Service Administration office
po box 2100, mail drop 520M
Phoenix, az
85001
or call

i was talking to some kids and they say that
at some of the circle k's they run their
drivers license thru the mag strip reader
to find out if your old enough to buy booze.
(probably cuz the government schools didnt
teach them enough math to caculate the kids
age from the DOB).
so i wrote adot and asked for the format of
how the data is stored on the magnetic stripe.
they were kind enough to make me this fake
drivers license, in addition to the layout
of the data on the 3 magnetic stripes on
the card. i assume the fake drivers license
is so i can test any software i write.
its made out to
mac big truck
po box test 4
agua fria, az
85335
for his photo mr mac truck has a picture
of the words TEST 4 and mr mac truck was
born on 8/19/61. unless the guy has some
sorta weird build he is probably overweight.
his height is 5 foot 2, but he weighs in
at 259.
the arizona drivers license has 3 magnetic stripes
on it (which i assume are the same as the
3 mag strips on credit cards).
a six bit character set is used to write
mag strips 1 and 3. i guessing its the
ascii character set with 32 subtracted
from each letter because they say a
% character has a binary value of
000101 in this six bit character set,
and a % character in ascii is
00100101. but i could be wrong! and
i have lied to people before.
track 1 on the drivers license has your state/province,
city, name, and address on it. its 82 characters long.
and the information is text. (i suspect thats 82
six bit characters).
track three is also text and is 82 characters long.
it contains template version, security version,
postal code (zip or canada), class, restrictions,
endorsements, sex, height, weight, hair color,
eye color, id #, and some reserved stuff +
a LRC code..
im guessing that the other american and canadian
states may also use this format because it has
room for a state/provence on it and allows either
candaian or us postal codes.
track two is all numeric and uses 4 bit bcd
characters instead of the 6 bit characters
used on tracks 1 & 3.
its 40 characters long. and contains
start sentinel, userid, drivers license #,
expiration date YYMM, birthdate yyyymmdd,
end sentinel, and a lrc
im sure my sisters 17 year old kid is going
to want to borrow my credit card writer
so he can make himself 21, since the clerks
at 7/11 never read the age but just swipe
the drivers license to see if your old enough
to buy booze.
and dont any of you underage computer majors
at the u of a who arnt old enought to buy
booze get any ideas.
i still have to ask them about whats on that
goofy bar code thats on the front of the license.
and some shocking information about your
bank card.
when i did some work for american express
i got a copy of the industry standard
which describes the lay out of the data
for master cards, visa, and other credit
cards along with bank debit cards.
beleive it or not your PIN is written on
the card. so if somebody gets your card,
and they have a credit card reader
they can get your PIN.
their is a byte on the card that gives
them the option of encrypting the PIN
but nobody in the industry uses it.
in phoenix you can get a credit card
reader at places like tri-tek
or other electrionic shops for $10/$20
that puts out TTL format, add a few
more bucks if you want RS-232 format
output.
