iPhone
The fastest door tool for bouncers and venue managers. Scan any US ID in under a second, catch fakes and expired IDs, log visits — all on-device. 3-day free trial.
ID Scanner turns your iPhone into a fast, reliable doorman for bars, clubs, breweries, and event venues. Scan the PDF417 barcode on the back of any US driver's license or state ID in under a second and instantly catch expired or underage IDs before the person walks in. Scans stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
WHY DOORMEN PICK ID SCANNER

PRIVACY FIRST
ID Scanner is built around one promise: the data on the back of every ID stays on your device. We do not host a backend. We do not run third-party analytics SDKs. We do not phone home. Your visitor list is yours alone — and you can wipe it any time.
SUBSCRIPTION
ID Scanner Premium is offered as a monthly or annual subscription with a 3-day free trial on the annual plan. Premium unlocks unlimited scans, multiple venues, full visitor history, and CSV / PDF export. Cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
