Federal law makes 21 the minimum age for every tobacco and vape sale. Carded verifies it in about a second on any phone, flags expired IDs automatically, and keeps an inspection-ready record, so an FDA or state compliance check is never a problem.
Federal Tobacco 21 and state inspectors do not accept a guess. Carded checks 21+ on every vape and tobacco sale, catches altered IDs, and keeps an inspection-ready log.
A giant green PASS or red UNDER in about a second, with a buzz and a chime so staff barely look down.
IntegrityEngine validates the barcode to the AAMVA standard, matches the issuer to the state, and cross-checks the dates, free on every plan.
Reads the real date of birth and expiration off the barcode, so no mental math and no expired card slips by.
Every scan is tagged with the device, staff, and time. Export a CSV or printable report for any date range.

One tap per customer keeps the line moving while every tobacco and vape sale gets a proper 21+ check.
Verify age at hand-off on any staffer’s phone before releasing a pickup or local delivery.
Name each device by store and register so your log shows where every sale was carded.
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.
Tobacco 21 (T21) is the federal law setting 21 as the minimum age to buy any tobacco or vape product. Carded defaults to a 21+ check so every sale meets the standard, and shows an instant pass or fail.
No. Carded runs on any phone or tablet in the browser, add it to your home screen and it’s a one-tap scanner. Nothing to buy or install.
Yes. Carded checks the expiration date automatically and shows a bold EXPIRED flag so a lapsed ID never slips through.
It makes 21+ verification consistent and keeps a record. You can export a compliance report of scans, declines, and expired catches to document that you card every customer.
Carded reads the barcode data and flags expired, underage, and anomalous IDs, but it doesn’t authenticate holograms. It removes the math and the guesswork; the final judgment stays with your staff.
Yes, after the first load it scans with no internet connection, so a weak signal never stops a sale.
