With one simple swipe of a card, age verification scanners can accurately read and display the name, age, date of birth and expiration date of a patron’s drivers license. This can reduce the number of underage drinkers or smokers who would otherwise gain access to illegal materials by an employee wrongly checking I.D. cards. Age verification scanners are portable and can be used in bars, casinos, liquor stores and convenience stores. An audio buzzer alerts you when an underage person is detected.
Other scanners are programmed to track banned patrons, as well as print mailing promotions for VIP patrons. Some scanners only read licenses with magnetic strips, while others can interpret bar codes. By identifying altered, expired or fraudulent drivers licenses, bars and stores can avoid paying fines and run a smoother business.
