How Much Does an ID Scanner Cost?

The price of an ID scanner varies, depending on the type of scanner, quality, and what you expect it to do. ID scanner apps range from free to about $25 a month. For these, you’ll need an Apple or Android device to download them to. These aren’t the most reliable, given the fact that they simply take a photo of the ID and briefly analyze it from there. An ID scanner that exclusively scans magnetic stripes costs about $400. These are a bit limited, as many states no longer use magnetic stripes for their IDs. ID scanners that read barcodes can cost anywhere from $700 to $1200. These scanners are usually either dedicated pieces of hardware or sled attachments for iPhones or Android phones. If you’re looking to detect fake IDs, you’ll need a forensic ID scanner. These top-of-the-line scanners can cost anywhere form $2500 to $5000.
