Driver's Licence Scanner: current scope

The supported scanner reads the PDF417 data encoded on a compatible South African driving-licence card and returns the decoded fields available in that barcode.

How to use this result

For a narrow workflow matched to the question in this page title, start with the exact input and preserve the original response. Compare returned fields with the information supplied for the case, record mismatches and unavailable values, and route exceptions to a person authorised to decide the next step. Current pricing belongs on the pricing page; timing remains subject to provider availability, input quality, supported records, and any manual work.

Service boundary

Decoding does not query an official licensing registry, confirm current validity, suspension, cancellation, ownership, driving entitlement, or the authenticity of the physical card. It does not inspect holograms, photographs, or security inks.

FIC Act customer-due-diligence duties apply to accountable institutions listed in Schedule 1 and operate through the institution's risk management and compliance programme. A VerifyNow result is one evidence item. It does not classify an organisation, complete every statutory duty, set a risk rating, or make the final decision.

POPIA applies to the processing of personal information. The organisation using the result remains responsible for purpose, lawful basis, notices, access controls, retention, security, operator management, and any cross-border transfer.
