This number uniquely identifies the issuing jurisdiction and can be obtained by contacting the ISO Issuing Authority (AAMVA). The full 6-digit IIN should be encoded.

This is a decimal value between 00 and 99 that specifies the version level of the PDF417 bar code format. Version “0” and 00 is reserved for bar codes printed to the specification of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) prior to the adoption of the AAMVA DL/ID-2000 standard. All bar codes compliant with the AAMVA DL/ID-2000 standard are designated Version “01”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Specification version 1.0, dated 09-2003 shall be designated Version “02”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Specification version 2.0, dated 03-2005 shall be designated Version “03”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07- 2009 shall be designated Version “04”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07-2010 shall be designated Version “05”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07-2011 shall be designated Version “06”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 06-2012 shall be designated Version “07”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 08-2013 shall be designated Version “08”. All bar codes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 09-2016 shall be designated Version “09”. All bar codes compliant with this current AAMVA standard shall be designated “10”. Should a need arise requiring major revision to the format, this field provides the means to accommodate additional revision.

This is a decimal value between 00 and 99 that specifies the jurisdiction version level of the PDF417 bar code format. Notwithstanding iterations of this standard, jurisdictions implement incremental changes to their bar codes, including new jurisdiction-specific data, compression algorithms for digitized images, digital signatures, or new truncation conventions used for names and addresses. Each change to the bar code format within each AAMVA version (above) must be noted, beginning with Jurisdiction Version 00.

This is a decimal value between “01 and 99” that specifies the number of different Subfile types that are contained in the bar code. This value defines the number of individual subfile designators that follow. All subfile designators (as defined below) follow one behind the other. The data related to the first subfile designator follows the last Subfile Designator.
