As many as 2-5% of IDs at busy dispensaries are potentially fraudulent. This represents a disastrous compliance risk if proper measures to detect fakes and prevent underage sales are not taken.

ID scanning compliance for dispensaries

For states like Illinois, which do not allow any information to be saved from a scanned ID, we offer immediate data purge.

For states like Montana, which have time limits on retained data, or states like New Jersey, which allow only certain fields to be retained, you’ll be able to choose a custom policy for each field.

For states with no regulations, you’ll be able to send rich, accurate customer data directly into your POS system, allowing you to capture customer names, addresses, and more.
