Many modern businesses – across a wide range of industries – make use of magnetic ID scanners. The speed, accuracy, durability, and convenience that these scanners offer are the primary reasons for their popularity. Businesses that need to verify the age or identity of their customers are the ones that make the most use of ID scanners. Such verification can be done for a wide variety of reasons, including security, regulatory compliance, and promotional purposes. Largely, businesses that sell age-restricted products need to invest in a reliable magnetic ID scanner, to prevent legal issues. If a business sells alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, or other similar products, then it cannot legally make a sale to underage customers. Doing so could lead to fines, license cancellations, lawsuits, and a plethora of other legal issues. The problem is, underage individuals sometimes try to purchase alcohol, cigarettes, etc. using fake ID cards. Such fake IDs can sometimes be very well made, making them hard to distinguish from the real ones. As a result, during a busy shift, a sales clerk might mistake a fake ID for the real thing. Even such a minor mistake could have a huge impact on the business, leading to massive losses and many legal hassles.

Nightclubs and bars are some of the most popular fixtures of modern cities. They provide their patrons with a venue to relax, unwind, socialize, and entertain themselves and their friends after a long day at work. Nightclubs can also be a great place for hosting parties, meeting new people, and in general having a good time after sundown. However, in most places around the world, nightclubs are subject to strict restrictions and legal scrutiny. This is because nightclubs and bars typically sell age-restricted products such as tobacco, alcohol, etc. Hence, it is imperative for them to ensure that they do not accidentally sell such age-restricted products to a minor who is not yet old enough to use them. If a nightclub accidentally serves alcohol to an underage person, they might face severe legal consequences, including lawsuits and license cancellations, all of which might put the business at risk. To minimize the risk of accidentally serving alcohol or tobacco to underage patrons, most modern nightclubs make use of high-quality age verification machines or ID scanners. This allows them to quickly and efficiently verify the age and identity of any potential customer before selling them a product or service. It also minimizes the risk of legal repercussions while at the same time making the job easier for bouncers, sales clerks, etc.

Whether marijuana dispensaries open with social distancing measures and curbside pickup, dispensaries must re-evaluate and develop best practices for checking identification.   Once orders are placed online, over the phone or at the counter, the customer’s ID will likely be visually checked from a further distance.  To reduce risk of both virus and liability exposure, employees can simply scan the customer’s ID/DL card with a portable ID Scanner.  This allows the ID to be checked without having to touch the ID card and it can be scanned from a distance. Since the customer holds up their ID/DL card, there is no need to touch their ID or run the risk of misreading and miscalculating their Age or Expiration status. The picture should always be compared carefully to the customer.  Simplicity and durability is the key factor to using the ID Scanner all the time.  Employees have a valuable tool to assist in evaluating and documenting an ID checking transaction.  ID transactions can be documented, which is essential for due diligence proof, but less is more these days as stronger consumer privacy laws are being adopted and businesses held liable for ID data breach.

Willy's Pub in Texas reopened in February, 2020 after implementing a camera and ID scanner system at the point-of-sale as well as the entrance. For the first few weeks of the semester, the pub had remained closed due to certain violations of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) regulations committed during an event in December of the previous year. These violations were reported at the event titled the “Last Pub of the Decade”, which led to the establishment being closed down by the authorities. An investigation was conducted by the TABC on the 6th of December, which yielded two charges – selling alcohol to a minor and allowing a minor to consume the purchased alcohol on the premises of the pub. If any similar violations occur in the future, it is very likely that Willy's Pub will be closed down and its licensed revoked permanently.

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.
