When it comes to ID verification, businesses have two true options.
Mobile ID scanners or stationary ID scanners.
Both offer fast and accurate age verification, but each is designed for different operational uses.
To better understand which type best fits your business, we’ll walk you through each to help improve your daily operations, compliance, and customer satisfaction.
Mobile ID Scanners: A Flexible Option
Mobile ID scanners are a great option for businesses that need age verification capabilities across multiple touchpoints and situations.
These handheld devices are great for staff that move between areas, whether it’s at the door of your establishment or a pop-up bar at your event.
Event venues are a prime example of who would benefit greatly from mobile scanners.
Whether it’s a musical festival or a VIP area within a stadium, mobile scanners make it possible for security teams and event staff to verify a person’s identity and age in a matter of seconds.
For businesses that handle hundreds, if not thousands, of ID checks per event, a mobile scanner is an excellent way to protect your business and your patrons.
Stationary ID Scanners: A Consistent Option
Stationary ID scanners are especially helpful for businesses with predictable traffic volume and fixed verification points.
As a stationary solution, it provides consistent and professional age verification at designated entry points, counters, and point-of-sale locations where IDs are regularly checked.
Our AgeVisor 3, in particular, offers a touchscreen interface, real-time age calculation, and built-in staff prompts.
It’s an excellent option for liquor stores that process countless transactions, dispensaries that manage age and purchase regulations, or a busy hotel bar, to name a few.
A stationary scanner provides a level of reliability that boosts your professional presence while building customer confidence.
The level of consistency that mounted scanners provide helps eliminate variability in verification procedures with staff.
Ready to Choose the Right Scanner?
Your choice is dependent on how your business operates on a daily basis.
If you sell age-restricted items, you can’t afford to take chances when it comes to age verification.
The wrong ID scanner can create a compliance gap that leaves you vulnerable to fines, suspensions, and in the worst case, closure.
