Our IDentiFake system was featured in Valley News Live in Fargo, North Dakota, as part of a state-wide public health initiative to combat underage drinking and the use of fake IDs in liquor establishments.
With school back in session, local officials are preparing for an increase in fake ID usage among college students.
In fact, according to Fargo-Cass Public Health, 20.7% of 12- to 20-year-olds in North Dakota reported underage drinking, compared to the national average of 15.4%.
To help address and mitigate the problem, the state of North Dakota is making IDentiFake scanners available to bars and liquor establishments through a lease program.
This partnership builds on our successful 5-year relationship with North Dakota, where we’ve consistently helped establishments protect their liquor licenses while creating safer communities.

Each IDentiFake package includes a duplex, multi-color scanner with IR and UV capabilities, a Microsoft Surface Pro, a mounting arm, a tray, and one year of software updates.
North Dakota law allows liquor establishments to confiscate fake IDs if reported to law enforcement within 24 hours. By using IDentiFake, bars and retailers can:
Our ongoing success in North Dakota over the past five years demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach.
While this initiative is currently expanding in Fargo, sophisticated fake IDs are a nationwide issue.
