Age verification
How do you verify age using a mobile ID scanner?
A mobile ID scanner uses the device’s camera, or an attached laser, to read the data in the 2D barcode on the back of the ID. It then analyzes the date-of-birth and compares it to today’s date. VeriScan software also looks for anomalies in the barcode that may indicate the ID is fake.
What is included in a 2D barcode security check?
All the data on the front of an ID is also stored in the barcode. After scanning millions of IDs every month we’ve found that many fake IDs don’t format this data correctly, which allows us to easily flag the ID as fake. This can be as simple as using the wrong state abbreviation, or using too many characters in the ID number. We perform more than 75 algorithmic checks on each ID.
What types of documents can you scan with a mobile ID scanner?
Our handheld ID scanners can scan all North American IDs and global passports. They can also scan digital IDs which expose a 2D barcode.

VeriScan is a visitor management system that can run exclusively on a mobile device. When an ID, drivers license, or passport is scanned a record of the guest is created and a visit log is created.
You can add individuals to lists such as Banned, VIP, etc., and add tags, notes, and attach documents.
Upon their next scan their visitor profile will be updated, and the scan added to their scan log, providing data on how frequently they visit your business.
