Detecting Fake IDs

Our age verification software can be configured to detect up to 95% of fake IDs when paired with. the appropriate ID scanner. Here’s how:

How common are fake IDs?

In a recent review of anonymized data across our customer base we determined that between 0.7% and 4% of IDs presented for the purchase of age restricted products show signs of being fraudulent. Age verification software is the ideal way to combat the use of fake IDs.

2D Barcode Security Checks

ID scanners use the 2D barcode to capture, parse, and read the PII stored on the ID. This includes fields such as first name, last name, address, and date of birth. Many fake IDs contain “tells” that indicate they are fraudulent within the 2D barcode. These can be incorrectly formatted fields, fields which don’t use known values (example: using “Brown” instead of “BRN” for eye color), or fields which don’t conform to the state template.

Our AI performs more than 75 algorithmic checks on each 2D barcode you scan, and can, within seconds, identify IDs which have 2D barcode anomalies.

ID Authentication

Many sophisticated fake IDs do not contain anomalies in the 2D barcode, and will pass basic barcode security checks.

To catch 95%+ of fake IDs and perform true ID authentication, you will need to use a scanner that can perform:

  • White light scanning
  • UV light scanning
  • Infrared light scanning
  • 6-image comparison
  • Front/back matching (camera uses OCR to compare the text on the front of the ID to the information in the 2D barcode)
  • Hologram checks
  • Watermark checks

These checks can all be performed simultaneously, and can tell within seconds if an ID is legitimate.

Cannabis Dispensaries

Cannabis retailers, dispensaries, and delivery services, are subject to strict compliance regulations meant to keep THC products out of the hands of minors.

  • Scan IDs and instantly parse data into your cannabis POS such as Dutchie, LeafLogix, Blaze, Flowhub, Sweed, etc.
