PulseID¶
ID verification for bars, clubs, and venues — running on the phone already at your door.
PulseID scans the barcode on the back of any US or Canadian driver's license in under a second, checks it against your venue's door policy, cross-checks the front of the ID for fakes, flags banned and trespassed patrons, and logs every scan for compliance. No proprietary hardware, no per-scan fees.
What PulseID does¶
- Fast door checks. A bouncer scans the PDF417 barcode and gets a clear go/no-go decision in about half a second, with a haptic buzz — no squinting at birthdates.
- Every state and province. AAMVA versions 1–10: all 50 US states, DC, the US territories, and all of Canada.
- Fake-ID detection. The front of the ID is read by OCR and cross-checked against the barcode, calling out the exact field that doesn't match.
- Flags & trespass list. Keep a per-venue list of warnings, bans, and trespass orders. A flagged patron is caught the moment their ID scans, at any door.
- Issue notices. Generate and print formal ban, trespass, and warning notices on your letterhead, with a captured signature — attached to the patron's record.
- Compliance built in. Every scan is logged with a photo and the decision. Scans auto-delete on your retention schedule. No facial recognition, ever.
