The primary function of a driver license scanner is to verify age by reading the information encoded in the magnetic stripe of the 2D barcode present on the back of the card. When the card is swiped through the slot, the screen on the ID scanner verifies the age of the individual and also ensures that the card is real and not a fake one. In some cases, the information pulled from the card can be stored in the memory of the scanner for compliance reporting or VIP alerts. Here are a few more reasons why it is important to install a driver license scanner in your establishment, especially if you run a marijuana dispensary, liquor store, bar, or pub.

If you are the owner or manager of a marijuana dispensary, then you have probably fielded questions from potential customers about why they need to scan their IDs or driver’s licenses when buying cannabis. Such questions are quite natural, in a world where large-scale data breaches make headlines every few weeks. With every passing year, data security is becoming more of a concern for corporations, small businesses, and private individuals alike. Quite understandably, people from all walks of life are becoming warier about sharing personally identifiable information with businesses of all types, including marijuana dispensaries. After all, many well-known cannabis businesses have, in recent years, been the victims of data breaches that revealed confidential client information. For these reasons, the owners and managers of marijuana dispensaries need to expend some effort in reassuring their customers and explaining the robust systems they have in place to ensure data privacy.

Over the years, the problem of teenage substance abuse and alcohol consumption has grown consistently in the United States. As a result, local, state, and federal governments have done (and continue to do) everything in their power to deter underage individuals from buying and consuming alcoholic beverages and other age-restricted substances. Hence, businesses such as bars, nightclubs, liquor stores, and pubs that sell alcohol and other age restricted products need to take some precautions so as to ensure that they do not accidentally make a sale to a minor. Selling alcohol to an underage customer can lead to dire consequences for the business which would probably lead to a major loss of revenue.
