Check ID is the fastest, most private, reliable way to scan and verify driver's licenses and IDs for events, venues, and guest management. It reads the barcode on a driver’s license or state ID, checks the birth date and expiry date against your rules, and gives your staff a clear answer. What it keeps is a record that the check happened, never the details of who was checked. WHAT A SCAN NEVER KEEPS No name. No date of birth. No address. No ID number. No picture of the ID. Not in a scan record, on any plan. Guest lists are the one place names live, and only the names your staff add on purpose. NO AD TRACKERS No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, no advertising identifier, and no ads. The app links two open-source libraries, both for reading passport chips. Our own product analytics tell us which features get used and what broke. They include coarse scan statistics, such as the result, the state and an age range, and never a name, birth date, address, ID number or photo. A RECORD THAT THE CHECK HAPPENED With Check ID for Teams, every scan is timestamped and signed by our server when it’s saved. Export a scan log (CSV) or a summary report (PDF), or share a report link. Reports never name your employees or the people who were checked. CHECK ID FOR TEAMS By default, staff check in with a PIN on shared iPhones and iPads at the door, so each scan records who ran it. Pair a door device from your own phone. Owners and managers review scans in the app or at app.checkidapp.com. One venue per plan; running several locations? Get in touch. Repeat-entry alerts tell staff when the same ID is scanned again within your window, on any of your venue’s connected devices. It’s a prompt, not a block. They use a one-way code, re-keyed on our servers with a secret unique to your organization and deleted when the window closes. They start off by default for venues in New Hampshire, the EU and EEA, and countries we haven’t reviewed, and owners can change that per venue. Guest lists and name search work from a copy on each device, so the door keeps going when the Wi-Fi doesn’t. Scans queue on the device and upload when the signal comes back. WHAT IT READS - The barcode on US and Canadian driver’s licenses and ID cards (the AAMVA PDF417 standard) - The REAL ID indicator, when the barcode encodes one - Many ePassports and chip ID cards, by reading the chip over NFC and checking its data against the issuing country’s certificates on our list (iPhone) - Driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet, through Apple’s own ID Verifier sheet (iPhone) HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT ISN’T Check ID is a tool that helps your staff check IDs. It isn’t legal advice, insurance, or a guarantee of compliance. It reads what a document encodes and checks it against your rules, but it can’t tell whether a card is genuine: a well-made fake can carry a valid barcode. Your staff make the final call.
