Replace the $250/month rental scanner with software. AAMVA PDF417 barcode parsing, on-device age gating, full audit trail. Built for bars, clubs, and age-restricted venues. Available now. Get your venue live in minutes.
The bouncer points the iPhone camera at the back of an ID. The PDF417 barcode is parsed on-device against the AAMVA standard. Front-of-ID photo captured automatically.
Age, expiry, and flag checks run on-device. No internet required. Screen flashes green for ENTRY or red for DENY. Reasons shown inline. Manager override available with audit trail.
Every scan is uploaded to your venue's web admin: photo, parsed data, decision reasons, OCR comparison verdict, and operator. Retention auto-deletes after 30 days unless flagged.
Your bouncer is in the loop on every decision. PulseID surfaces age, expiry, and flag context in under a second, so they can act, not interpret. The scan loop is instant: tap, scan, decide, next.
Reads driver's licenses & state IDs from 70+ jurisdictions: all US states, DC, territories, and Canada.
Set the minimum entry age (e.g. 18) and minimum age for full privileges (e.g. 21 for wristband). Per venue.
Mark patrons WARNING, BANNED, or TRESPASSED. Future scans surface the flag instantly to the bouncer.
Server runs OCR on the front of the ID and cross-checks the printed name and DOB against the parsed barcode. Catches doctored barcodes.
Managers can override a DENY with a recorded reason. The override is logged forever. No quiet exceptions.
The age-gate decision runs on the phone. Works without internet. Scan images and audit upload retries when reconnected.
Browse every scan, search patrons, manage flags, add staff, configure retention. No app to install for managers.
Every scan, decision, override, and flag change is logged with operator, timestamp, and reason. The trail is yours to keep. Exportable, and defensible if you're ever asked.
No proprietary scanner to break, replace, or rent. If a phone dies, sign in on another and you're back.

PulseID is built to comply with the growing patchwork of US state consumer-privacy and ID-scanning laws. Retention adapts automatically to the law of the state each venue operates in, including zero-retention and capped-retention states. Patron data is minimized, retention is scheduled, and a right-to-delete queue is built in.
Full policy at id.mypulsetech.com/privacy · Default retention: 30 days for scans, 365 days for flags. Configurable per venue, and automatically tightened where your state's law requires it.
