Reads barcode driver's licenses from every US state and all Canadian provinces. Also supports digital IDs (ISO 18013-5) and ePassports via NFC.
Every scan is timestamped and stored securely — your documented proof of due diligence, accessible any time from any device.
Add a problem guest once. Every device at your door flags them instantly on return — shared across your whole venue in real time.
Fast-track your best guests and create any custom group — Press, Staff, Promoters, Athletes. Photos and notes appear at the point of scan.
Age, gender, zip code, and traffic flow data from every scan. Understand your crowd and measure your marketing — online, any time.
Every scan builds your guest list automatically. Export to CSV for follow-up email campaigns, ad retargeting, or promoter reporting.
Add a free-text note to any individual scan — document a damaged ID, a secondary check, a patron warning, or any detail your staff or management needs on record.
Attach a photo to any scan — passports, foreign IDs, or damaged documents. A timestamped photo paired with a scan record is your strongest possible documentation for any compliance or incident review.
Present custom questions right after each scan — email or phone capture, contest entry, loyalty signup, consent acknowledgment, or any prompt you need. Free text, yes/no, or predefined multiple choice. Every answer is stored with that scan's record.
Each scan is tagged with GPS coordinates. Ideal for events, multi-gate venues, roving staff, and brand activations — know exactly where every scan happened without any manual logging.
The iOS app runs on any iPhone or iPad running a current iOS version. Use the built-in camera to scan, or pair with a Bluetooth barcode scanner or mag-stripe hardware attachment for faster throughput.
The Android app works on any Android phone or tablet. Same full feature set as iOS — camera scanning, Ban/VIP lists, patron analytics, and hardware compatibility.
The camera app works great for most venues. But if you're running hundreds of scans a night, our purpose-built Rugged W50CT all-in-one hardware scanner — dedicated laser engine, full-shift battery, no phone needed — is the right tool for a busy door. Available to purchase or rent.
You can create your account and register your venue at bcsidscanner.com before downloading the app. Useful if you're setting up multiple devices or want to configure your venue settings in advance.
Free to download. Free to start scanning. Upgrade when you're ready.
