Did you ever wonder what information your driver’s licence holds? With Scannr, you can quickly get all the information from a driver’s licence. It’s easy to use and integrate into your existing system! *** IMPORTANT!!! *** Scannr app cannot detect fake driver’s licences. HOW DOES IT WORK? Scannr uses the iPhone camera for scanning the barcode on the back of a US and Canadian driver’s license. By using BlinkID, a technology used in banking applications, information from the barcode is deciphered and turned into a human-readable form. WHAT IS BOUNCER MODE? The app offers the so-called bouncer mode – the ability to set the age limit and filter people accordingly. If the person is above the age limit, the scanned data is shown on the green background. If not, the background is red. It can also detect expired licenses. IS THE DATA LOGGED? Data logging can be switched on or off, depending on your preferences and/or state law. With logging turned on, Scannr can turn recorded data into informative charts. Charts can be further refined by selecting the start and end date. WHICH DATA IS STORED? Only aggregated gender and age data. Everything else is ignored. The scanned data never leaves your mobile phone, unless you configure Scannr to send data to a custom URL. IS SCANNR FREE? You can download the app for free and take a limited number of scans. If you find it useful enough, there’s an option of buying an unlimited-scans license for a time period. HOW DO I RECOVER THE 'UNLIMITED SCANS FOREVER' LICENSE? In older versions, there was an option of buying unlimited scans forever. If you bought such a license, you can recover it in the settings screen of the app after logging in. HOW DO I INTEGRATE SCANNR INTO MY SYSTEM? In settings, you can set Scannr up to send the scand data to a URL of your choosing so you can save the data for later if you have a need to do so. You can find more info on https://scannrapp.com/.

Mobile ID Verify by IDEMIA scans and verifies digital identity credentials such as mobile driver’s licenses (mDL) and state-issued Mobile IDs (mID) as well scans US State-issued IDs (DL and ID). The Mobile ID Verify app is used by businesses and relying parties to check digital IDs and display relevant identity information in a convenient and organized fashion to support transactions with consumers. How it works: 1. When ready to scan an ID, open the app and click the button “I'm ready to scan”. 2. Hover the mobile device camera over a mobile ID digital barcode or the QR Code. 3. Once the ID has been scanned, identity information will be displayed for review. 4. Results can be dismissed by tapping the “DONE” button. Data is deleted and no data is stored on the verifier’s device. Key Features: * Scan and verify digital Mobile ID (mID/mDL) credentials * Contactless scanning does not require touching consumer phones * Quickly verify the age of a customer via customizable settings to meet regulatory needs (e.g. 18+ for tobacco products or 21+ for liquor) * Scan QR Codes on Mobile IDs to validate authenticity and inspect attributes * Fully offline (device-to-device) scanning and validation with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) data transfer * Adheres to ISO-18013 standard ensuring secure and trusted transactions to help eliminate fraud FAQs Q: What can I do with this App? A: This app can be used to validate the authenticity of a Mobile ID (mID) or Mobile Driver’s License (mDL) so that you have the confidence that the person conducting the transaction is who they say they are. The app operates in a convenient, contactless manner without having to handle physical ID cards. Q: How is an identity verified? A: There are a couple ways to initiate an identity verification. Scanning a PDF417 barcode on a Mobile ID or physical identity card will immediately display the credential’s data, or scanning a QR code on the Mobile ID requests a set of attributes from the Mobile ID. Q: How are verification transactions secured? A: Verification transactions initiated by a QR code scan are 100% secure through the use of device authentication and data encryption giving full trust and assurance that the data received is accurate. Q: Who developed this App? A: Mobile ID Verify was developed by IDEMIA, the #1 issuer of physical driver’s licenses in the U.S. and pioneer of Mobile ID (mID), a government issued digital ID. IDEMIA is the global leader in Augmented Identity, provides a trusted environment enabling citizens and consumers alike to perform their daily critical activities (such as pay, connect, and travel), in the physical as well as the digital space.
