What Constaia checks

  • The AAMVA PDF417 barcode is decoded and compared with the printed front.
  • The license is not expired on your reference date.
  • The holder meets your minimum age (for example 21+).
  • Name and date of birth match the person you expect.

Driver license data is covered by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) and state laws. Use it only for a permitted purpose. Constaia processes documents without biometrics and deletes the file after the analysis by default.
