ID Scanner for Age Verification
Scan the ID.
Confirm the age.
Protect the sale.
WE SCAN IDs reads the barcode on the back of driver's licenses and ID cards from all 50 states, decodes each state DMV's security feature specifications, and checks the holder's age against your policy before your staff completes the sale.

A quick glance at an ID is not age verification.
A birth year, a photo, and a busy shift are a poor match. Manual checks depend on a single employee reading a small font under bad lighting, then doing the math under pressure. One missed digit or one convincing fake and your business owns the consequences.
Underage sales lead to fines, license suspension, and in some states, personal liability for the seller. WE SCAN IDs removes the guesswork by putting a verified, machine-read answer in front of your staff every single time.
Four steps, run automatically, every time an ID crosses the counter.
WE SCAN IDs turns age verification into a repeatable process instead of a judgment call, from the first swipe to the final approval.
Capture the barcode
Swipe the barcode on the back of the ID using your existing POS hardware or a dedicated handheld device.
Read the data
The scanner decodes the barcode and checks it against the security specification each state DMV publishes for that ID type, on the device itself.
Confirm the age
The system checks the date of birth against your product's minimum age requirement and shows a clear approve or deny result on screen.
Flag the risk
Repeat scans of the same ID trigger an alert for possible ID sharing, so your staff can step in before the sale is completed.
Built to fit the counter, the door, and the table.
WE SCAN IDs integrates with the hardware you already own and extends age verification to every point of contact in your business.
All 50 states decoded
Accurately reads the barcode on driver's licenses and ID cards issued anywhere in the United States, with the security specification library updated as states change their format.
Works with your POS
Connects to your existing point-of-sale hardware and software, so age verification becomes part of the transaction instead of a separate step.
Front door and table-side checks
Dedicated mobile devices let hosts and servers verify identity anywhere on the floor, not just at a fixed register.
Multiple age thresholds
Set separate minimum ages for alcohol, tobacco, and other regulated products, with custom descriptions and alert messages for each.
Manual entry for defective IDs
When a card is too worn or damaged to scan, staff can enter the state, ID number, and date of birth by hand and still get a verified result.
Duplicate scan alerts
The system flags an ID that gets scanned multiple times in a short window, a common sign that a card is being shared or reused.
Training and ongoing support
Every account includes initial staff training plus continued support, so the system stays accurate as your team changes.
Storefront signage
Deterrent posters and stickers announce the policy at the door, acting as a first line of defense before anyone reaches the counter.
Centralized policy dashboard
Manage settings for one location or an entire enterprise from a single web dashboard, so every site enforces the same policy consistently.
Verify the age. Don't collect the identity.
Age verification only needs one answer: is this person old enough. WE SCAN IDs is built around that principle, checking the date of birth against your policy without turning your register into a database of customer identities.
What operators say after switching to WE SCAN IDs.
WE SCAN speeds up the bartender's job at the door and takes the guesswork out of every check. If something ever does go wrong, the business has the extra layer of protection already in place.
Setup was simple and the scanning worked right out of the box, already built into the system the team was using. The onboarding and support made getting started painless from day one.
