Aim your smartphone at the barcode on a Driver License to instantly read, verify, parse and display the results: Underage, Expired ID, Alerts, etc. Age ID comes with Intellicheck's patented ID Check software to verify the authenticity of an ID by reading and verifying the format of the information encoded in the bar codes on state and provincial driver licenses, identification cards, military and government IDs. It can be used to reduce the chance of receiving fines & penalties to merchants who unknowingly sell age-restricted products to underage purchasers. It keeps track of who was scanned and when. Age ID works with devices that have an 8MP camera or higher (iPhone 6S or better). It also works with the 5th generation iPad and iPad Mini.

Instantly scan and verify your essential documents directly in the app. Typing document details from a physical card is slow and easy to get wrong. Point your camera at a document, and the details are captured and ready in seconds. One pass with the camera reads passports, visas, driver’s licenses, ID cards, and payment cards, and extracts all data directly on the screen. Documents from more than 190 countries and territories are recognized. The technology works on the first try. Blur and glare get sorted out while the camera is still pointed at the document, so one capture is usually all it takes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Age ID at 67% against Microblink Identity's 0%. Age ID also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Microblink Identity's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 2.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Microblink Identity holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Age ID's written reviews are positive against 0% of Microblink Identity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Age ID ships an update every 2 months, Microblink Identity monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
