The Year of the ID Checker
This year marks an fundamental milestone in the story of ID Checkers. As of January 2010, all new drivers' licenses and state IDs created in the United States and Canada have important information that can be read by commercially available ID Checkers. Before 2010, Georgia and Quebec Province were the only two jurisdictions in the region without readable information.
On February 27, 2009 Quebec Province revealed a new driver's license with a 2D barcode. Before Quebec modernized, the drivers license had a simple 1D barcode with no name or address information.The new ID conforms to the same specification used by most states in North America and contains basically all the information that is printed on the front on the license. The expanded information can be a crucial tool for age verification. When the information is displayed in an ID card reader, the clerk or bartender has the ability to visually compare the information printed on the front of the card with the information stored in the card.
In late 2009, Georgia finally removed the encryption from their drivers license. In the past, in a misguided effort to protect privacy, they encrypted the 2D bar code and then decided that an outside 3rd party should be the only organization to know how to decrypt the license. Incredibly, the State of GA did not know the algorithm or keys to read the 2D bar code! ID scanners that can read 2D bar codes can now acquire the data stored on the new Georgia driver's license and render it on the ID checker for age verification. Previously issued Georgia drivers licenses will remain active until their expiration dates, at which time they will be exchanged for one of the new cards. With the addition of Quebec and Georgia, every State governments and Provinces now have drivers licenses with either 2D bar codes or magnetic stripes that are readable by an ID Card Reader. This is an significant evolution in the battle against underage drinking and smoking, as well as against fraudulent licenses, because it allows the most effective ID scanning technology to be used in age verification.
Earlier generation ID scanners relied upon OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read information printed on a license. OCR machines basically take a picture of the license and use software to interpret and decode the characters. The decoded data often has typos or small mistakes due to the inherent lack of error correction present with OCR. That is why reading the machine readable data elements like the bar code produce more accurate and reliable results. More importantly, OCR does not aid an clerk verify that the specifics written on the ID is the same as the data stored on the 2D bar code / magnetic stripe because it views the printed information on the front of the ID.
The latest generation of Driver License Checkers are the most reliable and efficient way to extract the information stored on an ID card for verifying the age of customers.. Just about all ID card checkers contain both 2D bar code and magnetic stripe scanning mechanisms. These ID scanners read the information programmed into the card and display it without any spelling errors. ID Scanner extract the date of birth information off the license, and by being aware of the date, calculate the age and then warn if under age. Additionally they warn if the ID is expired and display the name on the display so the operator can ensure the name in the data stripe matches what is printed on the front of the ID.
Many ID card readers save scan information in a database for use in legal defenses. This is typically referred to as an affirmative action defense.
As of 2010, Driver License Checkers can read licenses issued by every US state and Canadian province without depending on picky OCR solutions. For a enterprise that offers alcohol or tobacco, or lottery tickets, an ID card scanner that is capable of reliably reading the information on an ID is a crucial business investment. The ID Checker era is here!
