Types of IDs
A fraudster turned away at one dealership is blocked at every other.

- Flags push automatically across all connected rooftops in real time

On the Lot
Customer expresses interest in a test drive. Your salesperson scans their ID with Patronscan before walking back to get the keys. Takes seconds.
Handheld Alert
If the ID is fake or the individual is flagged in your network, staff receive an instant SMS alert. The test drive does not happen.
Real-Time Data Sync
Quickly capture and verify ID data using handheld scanners or mobile devices, even in high-traffic or fast-moving environments.
At the Reception
Patronscan ID Scanner analyzes and logs the customer ID at every subsequent touchpoint in the deal. The record builds automatically.
After the Visit
Every interaction is logged in your Online Security Dashboard with timestamps, ID data, and location. Your dealer principal can review from anywhere.
Across the Group
If this customer is flagged, every other rooftop in your dealer group is automatically updated. They cannot walk into your next store unrecognized.
The Patronscan Platform
Patronscan is built for this environment.
Modern fake IDs replicate barcodes, holograms, and fluorescent overlays with precision that beats the human eye under any conditions. Patronscan helps teams reduce risk, improve visibility, and make faster, better-informed decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have some questions about Patronscan?
Our staff already checks IDs. Why do we need this?
Your staff checks IDs. Fraudsters count on that. They bring IDs specifically designed to pass the eyeball test, complete with working barcodes, correct holograms, and matching photos. Patronscan analyzes over 6,000 data points per ID, including UV overlay patterns, cryptographic hashes, and font geometry. That is far beyond what any staff member can evaluate in a transaction moment, even the most experienced one.
We are a single-point dealer. Is Patronscan designed for large groups?
Patronscan works for single-point dealers and dealer groups alike. Test drive fraud does not exclusively target large dealer groups. Single-point dealerships are often specifically targeted because they are perceived as less protected. The math is simple: one recovered vehicle or avoided fraud loss covers years of Patronscan coverage.
What about customer privacy?
A Patronscan ID scanner collects only the minimum data required for identity verification and is built for compliance with applicable privacy regulations across North America, Australia, and the UK. Your compliance team and lenders will recognise this as a standard, defensible practice. The data is yours, stored securely, and not shared outside your dealer group.
How does it work at the F&I desk?
Patronscan integrates you ID scanner at either reception or F&I office and creates a verified identity record at the start of every deal. Patronscan handles the ID check at the desk and adds a timestamped log to your Online Security Dashboard automatically. That verified identity record is exactly the kind of documentation lenders and compliance auditors expect to see.
What happens if a flagged customer shows up at a different rooftop in our group?
That is exactly what the cross-rooftop flagging network is built for. When any location in your dealer group flags a customer, the record is pushed automatically and in real time to every other connected rooftop. Staff at any location will receive an instant SMS alert when that individual’s ID is scanned again, regardless of which store they walk into.
What ID types does Patronscan support?
Patronscan supports over 14,000 ID types, covering all standard driver’s licences and government-issued photo ID documents across the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. This includes all 50 US states, all 10 Canadian provinces and 3 territories, and Australian states.
How quickly can a dealership get set up?
Setup is designed to be fast. The Dual Pass product is deployed without complex integration requirements, and can be installed at reception or the F&I desk with a minimal footprint. Your team can be verifying IDs the same day devices arrive. Patronscan’s onboarding team supports deployment at every stage to ensure you’re confident with your ID scanner for automotive dealerships.
