But when you go through the process, it asks to scan the front and back of your DL. When I scan the back, I get a message that says "cannot detect bar code, make sure that it is inside the frame on your screen" (I'm paraphrasing).

I can't get it to work either. I either get a message that the Back of ID Not Captured (even if its a clear image of the back of my DL) or the same message about the barcode not detected.


When they added the ability to add C voiced vaccination cards to the wallet m y wife and I couldn't get that to work at first either. After a couple months we tried again and it worked. Hope they get the bugs worked out with this more quickly!

RE: AZ DL barcode Re-scan

Did you do anything different?


Had no problem with vaccination card but This seems different.

An example seemed to show rectangular QR code + magnetic strip + barcode sticker at top

mine doesn't include barcode sticker just a magnetic strip and the long QR code --I'll check AZ MVD as DLs have 30-YEAR validity window--could be low-tech, outdated version in my possession🙃

Update. The back of my DL still fails but at least I now get a pop-up that says "Your identification card is not currently supported and may need to be replaced with a new version before you can add it to Wallet."


My DL was issued in 2009 and like azbondgirl, only has the mag strip & QR code, no barcode at the top.


Adding my DL to the Wallet isn't worth the cost of a replacement so I guess I'll wait until I have to renew it in 2026.
