ID Scanning On A Mobile Device
IDScan.net’s mobile/handheld ID scanning solutions enhance environments and experiences across a variety of industries. Simply scan a driver’s license or passport using our mobile solution—our mobile software paired with mobile scanners from top manufacturers—and verify age, check for fake or expired IDs, and check in guests.

Mobile ID scanning allows for flexible handheld scanning of IDs and passports. Our mobile scanning solutions sync to a centralized database and visitor management database.
Mobile Age Verification
IDWare Age is IDScan.net’s age verification solution that enables bars, nightclubs, dispensaries, retailers, and others selling age-restricted products to quickly spot underage and problem patrons.
When an ID or driver’s license is scanned, a record of the scan can be uploaded from the ID scanner app to the cloud.
Use Cases
ID Scanning at Point of Purchase. Behind the register at liquor stores, vape shops, and tobacco shops or behind the bar.
ID Scanning at Point of Entry. At the door for bars, nightclubs, dispensaries and any other venue with a minimum age to enter.
ID Scanning for Delivery. Scan IDs for deliveries of cannabis, alcohol, and other age restricted products.
How It Works
- ID scanning using the mobile device’s embedded camera or an auto-focus laser
- ID parsing to verify age against today’s date
- 2D barcode security checks that perform 75 algorithmic checks on the 2D barcode, looking for anomalies
- mDL (mobile driver’s license) scanning using the camera – accept digital IDs


Mobile Visitor Management
IDWare Guest is IDScan.net’s visitor management solution that increases security in buildings and venues and enhances the experiences of all those who visit, work, or live inside. When an ID or driver’s license is scanned, a record of the guest and the visit is added to a cloud database. It is shared across locations in real-time and can be accessed by a web-based portal.
