AgeShield makes ID checks easy on the phones and iPads your team already carries. No hardware. No terminal to mount. Built for bars, nightclubs, restaurants and retailers across the US. SCAN IN A SECOND Point the camera at an ID. Color-coded verdict, instantly. Works fully offline, even from a cold start, so the line never waits on the network. WHAT IT READS Passports from 200+ countries. Driver's licenses worldwide. US state IDs and residence permits. BAN AND VIP LISTS INCLUDED Flag someone at the door once and every device knows. Banned guests trigger a warning on the next scan. Regulars and VIPs get a heads-up so your team greets them by name. Both lists are shared across the venue, no extra cost. AUDIT LOGS THAT HOLD UP Every scan, decision and reason is logged against the venue, device, person and time. Owners, managers and door staff get their own roles and access levels, so the record always shows who did what. When someone asks about last Saturday, the answer is in the app, not in someone's memory. THREE DEVICES, YOUR RULES Door, bar, server station. Every plan covers three devices, so a second reader isn't a second subscription. No per-scan fees, no hardware contract. And you set the terms venue by venue: minimum age, which fields are stored, how long they're kept, whether photos are captured. GETTING STARTED Sign-up happens at ageshield.bar, not in the app. The owner creates the account, adds the venue and issues each device a credential. Staff download AgeShield, sign in, start scanning.
