AgeShield ID Scanner for Bars, Restaurants & Retailers Reviews & Product Details

AgeShield is a modern, affordable and easy-to-use ID scanner app and age verification platform for bars, nightclubs, restaurants, liquor stores and other age-restricted businesses. It turns the iPhones, iPads and Android devices your staff already carry into secure ID scanners, without expensive dedicated hardware. Staff scan a driver's license, state ID, green card or passport and see the guest's age on screen in seconds. AgeShield checks for expired IDs, runs fake ID checks and gives staff the information they need to make the final entry or sale decision. Scanning continues to work offline, so a weak connection does not hold up the door or checkout line. Every scan flows into the AgeShield Hub, giving owners and managers a clear view of activity across venues and devices. Teams can recognize returning guests, maintain shared Banned and VIP lists and flag a banned guest wherever they are scanned. Multi-venue operators can manage locations from one dashboard. AgeShield also creates a documented audit trail of every ID check. The exportable audit log records scans, staff decisions and setting changes, including who performed them and when, giving venues a clear record for incident review, inspections and disputes. Privacy and security are built into the platform. Venues choose which guest details are captured and how long they are retained, including storing no guest details at all. Guest data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and role-based permissions control what each team member can access. Retention can be configured for up to 2 years on Core or 5 years on Pro. Every plan includes three devices scanning at the same time, so venues can cover the door, bar and servers from the start without paying for dedicated scanner hardware at every station. All devices work from the same Banned list and venue records. Plans start at $49 per month, with a 14-day free trial that includes every Pro feature. AgeShield is designed as a modern alternative to traditional handheld ID scanners, combining ID scanning, age verification, fake ID detection, offline scanning, guest history, Banned and VIP lists, multi-venue management, staff permissions, privacy controls, configurable data retention and exportable audit logs in one secure, easy-to-use system.
