Does Your Bar Code Scanner Read Driver License Codes?
Support for Retailers Selling
Regulated Items
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. So
that Retailers can more effectively comply with government
regulations, Datalogic Scanning offers bar code scanners in multiple
form-factors which can automate the verification process.
Reading and sending the data found from bar codes on 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 also eliminates
the need for separate "verification only" equipment.
Additional Benefits
When using imaging based bar code scanners for reading driver
licenses, the extracted data can also be used for other applications
beyond age verification and ID expiration. The scanned data can also
be used to auto-populate forms including credit card applications,
loyalty programs, product return forms, hunting/fishing licenses,
and bridal registration applications. These applications will reduce
customer wait times and improve customer service while adding the
potential to capture additional customer data for improved
marketing. Using an imaging bar code reader 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.
