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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Check ID Scanner at 4.4 against Age ID's 2.5. Check ID Scanner also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Age ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (67% vs 41%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Check ID Scanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Age ID asks for nothing beyond the download.
Check ID Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Age ID has 91 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Check ID Scanner's written reviews are positive against 67% of Age ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Check ID Scanner ships an update monthly, Age ID every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
