Verify age in seconds, not guesses.

Instead of relying on a bouncer to “do the math” in a dark doorway, Patronscan calculates age automatically and helps spot IDs that don’t look quite right.

Why Age Verification Matters

Age-restricted venues and retailers can’t afford to get it wrong. Patronscan takes the pressure off your front-line staff by verifying age instantly, flagging suspicious IDs, and creating a clear digital record of who was let in.

More Than Just “Doing the Math”

Age verification with Patronscan goes beyond checking a birthday:

  • No mental math under pressure:
    Your team sees “21+” or “Underage” at a glance, instead of counting years backward during a rush.

  • Support for thousands of document types:
    Verify IDs from locals, tourists, and travelers with global document coverage.

  • Helps detect altered birthdates:
    By reading the data behind the document and how it’s formatted, Patronscan can help highlight IDs where the date of birth may not be what it appears.

  • Consistent enforcement across staff and shifts:
    Whether it’s a new hire or a seasoned bouncer, everyone uses the same process and the same standard.

Reduce Human Error

Whether you’re running a bar, nightclub, casino, or age-restricted retail store, every underage guest at the door is a risk to your liquor or business license, your staff and security team, and your brand and your community.

Manual checks leave room for human error, especially on busy nights or long shifts. Patronscan gives your team a consistent, repeatable way to enforce age limits, every time an ID is presented.
