Cannabis is the most heavily regulated retail there is. Carded verifies age in about a second on any phone, toggles between 21+ adult-use and 18+ medical, catches expired IDs, and keeps a compliance log, so your license is never at risk over a missed check.
Cannabis regulators require strict age verification on every visitor, 21+ for adult-use, and 18+ or a valid card for medical. A missed or sloppy check isn’t just a fine; in a licensed cannabis market it can put the whole operation’s license in jeopardy. Reception has to card every single person who walks in, all day, without slowing the line to a crawl.
Carded is built for that reality. Scan the barcode at check-in, flip between adult-use and medical thresholds with one tap, and get an instant verdict with an automatic expiration flag. Every scan is logged, and you can flag a barred visitor so the next time their ID scans, your team sees a clear alert.
Carded reads the PDF417 barcode on the back of the ID, the wide striped block, and decodes the real date of birth and expiration instantly. No typing, no math, no squinting.
One tap, one glance. Carded does the age math, the expiration check, and the record-keeping, so your staff can just say yes or no.
Point the camera at the barcode on the back of any US or Canadian ID. Carded decodes the name, date of birth, ID number, and expiration in under a second.
A big green PASS or red UNDER, plus a buzz and a chime. Flip between 21+ and 18+ for different sales.
Instantly flags an expired ID against today’s date, no mental math, no missed dates.
Catches the same ID scanned twice, and throws a red DO NOT SERVE for any ID you’ve flagged.
Every scan is tagged with the device, the staff member, and the time. Export a CSV or a printable compliance report for any date range, proof you carded every customer.
Everything runs in the browser on the device. IDs are hashed, outcomes only are stored, and nothing is uploaded or sold, nothing to breach.
Toggle between a 21+ adult-use check and an 18+ medical check instantly, Carded shows the right verdict for the customer in front of you.
Mark an ID as barred once and Carded throws a DO NOT ADMIT alert the next time it scans, stored privately as a hash on the device.
Keep an on-device, anonymized record of every check, outcomes only, no customer data uploaded, and export a report for your state cannabis authority.
Card every visitor before they reach the sales floor, with a clear pass or fail and a hands-free chime.
Re-verify at the point of sale in a second when your workflow calls for a second check.
Verify age at the door on the driver’s phone, offline if needed, and log the check.
Every scan runs Carded IntegrityEngine, validating the ID’s barcode against the DMV (AAMVA) standard, matching its issuer number to the state printed on the card, and cross-checking the encoded dates. It catches the scannable fakes and altered birth dates a basic age scan waves through, flagging anything off with a clear “Review this ID.” It’s a strong fraud signal, not a guarantee, so your team still eyes the card, and now they know which ones to look at twice.
If you deliver age-restricted orders, add DeliveryPro to any plan. After a 21+ pass, capture the recipient’s name and signature, a not-visibly-intoxicated confirmation, an optional photo, and the GPS delivery address, then export a delivery report your state can require. Works offline; records stay on the device.
