Here’s how we’re helping businesses

“[Prior to utilizing ID Scan’s services,] we were losing thousands and thousands of dollars a year in chargebacks. Since using [VeriScan] we have been successful in reducing the frivolous fraud chargebacks by 90%.”

“The security checks we’re performing at account creation are more stringent than what you would see in other customary onboarding processes. Fraudsters need to have physical access to an ID to open an account, and each layer of security creates an additional speed bump that deters scammers”

“We saw a 36% reduction in merchandise returns in our five pilot stores during the first five weeks while other stores in the area saw an increase in returns during the same period, It’s clear the solution is not only catching fraud, it’s deterring it.”

“Scammers are always finding new ways to defraud dealerships. It is usually too late when you find out, but with DIVE we’re able to verify identity in advance, giving us greater peace of mind that each person on our lot is a legitimate potential customer.”

Our ID fraud prevention software, when paired with authentication-capable hardware, can be configured to catch up to 95% of fake IDs.

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.


What is ID authentication?

ID authentication is forensic document analysis to confirm whether the ID is legitimate. In addition to AI-powered software, it requires specialty hardware that is capable of performing the following:

  • White light/UV light/Infrared light image analysis
  • 6-image comparison
  • Front/back simultaneous matching (using OCR to compare text on the front of the ID to the data in the 2D barcode)
  • Hologram library checks
  • Watermark library checks

Can fake IDs be caught using an app or handheld ID scanner?

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.

Handheld scanners lack ultraviolet and infrared camera, as well as the ability to perform front/back matching, and so are only capable of catching fake IDs with 2D barcode anomalies, which is roughly 50% of fake IDs.
