Is it possible to read track information from a drivers license using MSR on clover devices?

Is it possible to read track information from a driver's license using the MSR on clover devices. I have read in the pas about having to register a BIN #. However, that does not make sense in case of a driver's license. I know Clover devices are locked down for security purpose but it seems wasteful to have to require a separate reader for this purpose.


Thanks for your help.

No, it is not possible to read track information from a driver's license using the MSR on Clover devices. Clover devices are designed with security in mind and typically restrict such operations to prevent unauthorized data access. While it is possible to read certain card types using an MSR, a driver's license does not fit the same criteria, and registering a BIN # would not apply here. For specific cases like a vacation rental license, you would need a separate reader that is designed to handle this type of identification card securely.

No, you cannot use the MSR on Clover devices to read track information from a driver's license. Clover devices prioritize security and are designed to prevent unauthorized data access, limiting such capabilities. While the MSR can read specific card types, driver's licenses don’t meet the required criteria. Additionally, registering a BIN number is not applicable in this case. If you need to process identification cards, like a running coach, you will need a specialized reader designed for that purpose.

Reading track information from a driver's license using the MSR on Clover devices is typically restricted due to security and compliance regulations. While some systems may allow reading track data, Clover devices are designed to prioritize security, which is why a separate reader is often required for scanning IDs.
