The ID age-verification app for bars, liquor stores, dispensaries, and vape shops. Scan the license, get a clear pass or fail plus a fake-ID check in about a second, on the phone you already carry.
No separate tools, no add-on hardware. Every scan runs the full stack, and every plan gets every feature.
Every scan runs a battery of checks on the ID’s barcode, catching scannable fakes and altered birth dates a basic scanner waves through.
Pass rate, underage blocks, and an export-ready CSV across every device, and it finds your risk window automatically.
Scan the front too, Carded confirms it matches the barcode on the back.
Card at the door: recipient signature, GPS address, and a documented delivery record.
Fast gate scanning, per-gate tallies, and wristband linking for events.
Names, dates of birth, and ID numbers never leave the device. Nothing to breach.
Dead signal at the door never stops the line. No dock, no dongle, no scanner to buy.
Flag repeat offenders, keep a compliance log, and export CSV or PDF anytime.
Every phone scans in about a second. Every scan rolls up to one private dashboard, so you can prove your diligence to a regulator or your insurer.
Carded runs in your phone’s browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like an app, nothing to install.
Hold the back of the license in the frame. In about a second you get the age verdict, ID status, and a fake-ID check.
Clear pass or fail, a “review this ID” flag when something’s off, and every scan logged to your dashboard.
No. Carded runs on the phones and tablets you already have. There is no dock, no dongle, and no dedicated scanner to buy, which is exactly what keeps it far cheaper than traditional ID-scanning systems.
Plans start at $15 a month for a single register, $29 a month for a venue with up to 5 devices, and $59 a month for up to 15 devices. Every plan includes every feature and unlimited scans, with a discount if you pay annually. Running several locations? Reach out for volume pricing.
Yes to both. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial and you are not charged during it, so you can try Carded on a real shift first. There are no contracts, you can cancel anytime, and updates are free for life.
Any US or Canadian driver's license or state ID with the standard PDF417 barcode on the back, which is essentially all of them. Carded decodes the AAMVA data encoded in that barcode.
Yes. After the first time it loads, Carded scans with no internet connection at all, so a dead signal at the door or a packed venue never stops the line. You only need a connection to first set up a device or to export your data.
Carded reads the data the barcode contains and shows the age and expiration, and it flags the tell-tale problems like expired, underage, or a date that does not add up. It does not judge whether an ID is a physical forgery, so that final call stays with your staff. It removes the math and the guesswork, not your judgment.
Yes. Flag any ID as 86'd and Carded shows a red DO NOT SERVE the next time it scans. It also warns you if the same ID was scanned twice in a short window, which catches an ID being passed back to an underage friend. You can mark your regulars as VIP too.
No customer identities are stored or sold. Scanning happens entirely on the device, and no names, dates of birth, or ID numbers ever leave it. The detailed scan log lives only in your browser until you export it. Only de-identified outcomes, a pass or fail, an age, and the issuing state, sync to your private dashboard, so there is no database of customer IDs on our servers to leak or sell.
Start scanning free on the phone in your pocket. Every plan includes fake-ID defense, the compliance dashboard, and unlimited scans.
