They are right you're just getting an example. If you scan your actual I.D. it will bring back your personal details.

An example looks like this:

"@\n\x1e\rANSI 636000090002DL00410278ZV03190008DLDAQT64235789\nDCSSAMPLE\nDDEN\nDACMICHAEL\nDDFN\nDADJOHN\nDDGN\nDCUJR\nDCAD\nDCBK\nDCDPH\nDBD06062016\nDBB06061986\nDBA12102024\nDBC1\nDAU068 in\nDAYBRO\nDAG2300 WEST BROAD STREET\nDAIRICHMOND\nDAJVA\nDAK232690000 \nDCF2424244747474786102204\nDCGUSA\nDCK123456789\nDDAF\nDDB06062008\nDDC06062009\nDDD1\rZVZVA01\r"

You can check yours with this. https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/

Here is a link to the AAMVA Manual, go to ANNEX D page 46 and it will explain it all there.

Good luck!

It is a string for the DL data. You must be reading a sample as there is no data in it.
ie - DCSLASTNAME = DCS is the "header" for last name - then the next XXX character should be the last name that is on the license.

Research will take you here: https://www.aamva.org/FL-ITN-DriverRelatedCredentialPrintSolutionExh3-022016/ for the standard and how to parse the data out of the DL barcode.
