ID verification
for schools and campuses
Screen every visitor at the front desk
Scan each visitorโs ID before they get past the front office. VeriScan validates the ID, checks it against your banned list and the Sex Offender Registry, and prints a badge, replacing paper sign-in sheets with a timestamped log.
Add document verification to prevent financial aid fraud
Fraud rings use stolen and synthetic identities to enroll in online courses, then disappear once aid is paid. Add document authentication, face matching, and third-party checks to your financial aid workflow, in person at the aid office or remotely. Every verification is logged, so you have documentation on file when the Department of Education asks.
Unlock doors only for approved people
VeriLocks pairs an ID scanner with your door strike. Build an allow list for each entrance, and the door opens only when someone on that list scans their ID.

Key features
Catch 95% of fake IDs
Our document authentication is AI-driven and based on analysis of millions of scanned IDs. We review high-resolution images in ultraviolet, infrared, and white light and return results on the IDโs legitimacy in 10-12 seconds.
Ideal for busy financial aid and registrar offices: thereโs no per-scan cost, just a flat monthly fee.
Sex offender checks
Trigger a Sex Offender Registry check from an ID scan for visitors, vendors, and volunteers. Results come back in under 10 seconds and often include a photo, so staff can confirm a match on the spot
Field-level data retention & privacy settings
Set retention or automatic deletion for every field on a scanned ID. Each field runs on its own policy and time limit, so you can align ID data with your district or institutionโs privacy and records requirements.
Visitor badges in seconds
Print badges with the visitorโs name, photo, purpose of visit, and your school logo. Time-expiring badges show at a glance when a pass is no longer valid. Included at no extra cost for VeriScan Enterprise and ID Authentication users with compatible printers.
Benefits of ID scanning for schools
School districts, colleges, and universities are adding ID scanning and digital identity verification to front-office check-in and student onboarding.

Deter bad actors

Parents, volunteers, and vendors get through the front office quickly, even during drop-off and events.
