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.
