Patronscan activates sequences of infrared, ultraviolet, and white light to examine security features invisible to the naked eye.
Reading a barcode is not the same as validating an ID. Patronscan goes further, analyzing over 8,500 data points per document.
When a fraudster is caught at one location, that flag travels with them. Patronscan’s global Flag Network connects participating venues with alerts.
The ID validation space is evolving rapidly, and Patronscan is positioned at the center of it. We’re not just keeping up with where the industry is going, we’re defining it.
Our ID validation hardware is purpose-built for the environments our customers actually operate in. Every design decision starts with reliability and ease of use, because that’s what matters at the point of entry

Combine Quality Hardware with Intelligent Software
Across your devices and locations, the platform can:
Examine entire documents across multiple layers of analysis
Patronscan is a forensic identity verification platform that combines purpose-built scanning hardware with a cloud-based intelligence layer to help:
- Bars
- Nightclubs
- Retailers
- Casinos
- Automotive Dealerships
- Logistic and Transportation Companies
- Entertainment Districts
- Events & Festivals
- Property managers
and more, detect fake IDs and verify identities in seconds. Unlike systems that only read barcodes, Patronscan examines the entire document across multiple layers of analysis.
White, infrared, and ultraviolet lighting conditions
The process starts when a document is placed into a Patronscan device, including the:
- Guard+ – Full-Fledged Countertop Device
- Handheld – Portable, Mobile Device
- Dualpass – Small and Compact
- Omnipass – Passport-Focused Scanner
- Lite+ – Compact Access Control
- Wall Mount – Full-Fledged Access Control
The hardware captures high-resolution images of the front and back of the ID under white, infrared, and ultraviolet lighting conditions. These images are analyzed in real time against a library of over 5,000 document templates covering IDs from around the world.
Catch mismatches that indicate forgery
Simultaneously, the system runs over 8,500 data point checks for:
- Barcode Integrity
- Microprint Quality
- Hologram Presence
- Font Consistency
- Spacing Patterns
- and Template Conformity
Proprietary algorithms developed by our Software Engineers compare the physical characteristics of the document against what the encoded data says it should look like, catching mismatches that indicate forgery or tampering.
Check against the Patronscan Flag Network
Results appear instantly. A clean scan gets a green pass. A detected fake triggers an on-screen alert and, if configured, an SMS notification to your security team.
Every scan is also checked against the Patronscan Flag Network, a shared intelligence layer that alerts your team if the individual has been flagged at any participating venue.
The entire process, from document insertion to result, takes under one second for a standard verification and under 10 seconds for a full forensic analysis.
Patronscan supports all document templates and reads a combined 14,000 ID and document variants from around the world. Supported document types include:
- Driver’s licenses from all North American jurisdictions, plus international
- Passports
- National identity cards
- Healthcare cards
- Citizenship immigration cards
- Status cards
- Military identification
- and Government-issued age-of-majority cards
Patronscan’s template library is updated weekly by our Software Enginneers, incorporating new document designs, security feature changes, and newly identified fake ID patterns. This means the system stays current as governments release updated credentials and as counterfeiters adapt their methods.
