Does your bar code scanner read a driver license with one pass or does it take multiple passes? US retailers who sell regulated goods such as alcohol, lottery tickets and tobacco must follow local, state, and federal requirements to accurately verify customers’ age and identity. Datalogic, Honeywell, and Zebra offer multiple bar code readers capable of reading PDF417 bar codes commonly found on IDs that can automate the age verification process, so that retailers can more effectively comply with government regulations.

Reading and sending the data found on bar codes from government issued identification cards (including most state driver licenses) to the point-of-sale quickly verifies and assures the customer’s legal age. This verification process protects the retailer from fines or potential loss of license when selling age-restricted goods. Using a scanner and POS host system to verify ID or age removes the burden of the decision-making process from the cashier and eliminates the need for separate “verification only” equipment.

Using a bar code reader for age verification reduces manual data entry, increases efficiency at the point-of-sale and prevents errors in the sale of controlled items such as alcohol and tobacco.

With one press of the scan trigger, clerks can capture and parse data on drivers licenses to automatically populate a loyalty or credit card application, verify age for age-restricted purchases and more.
