Help for camera access, supported PDF417/AAMVA barcode scanning, age rule setup, PASS/DENY/REVIEW results, local history, and privacy questions.

Important: ID Age Scanner does not guarantee fake ID detection and does not replace manual ID inspection or local legal requirements.
Please include the app version, iOS version, device model, the screen where the issue occurred, and the steps to reproduce the issue.
Please do not send real ID photos, raw barcode content, full names, addresses, license numbers, or other sensitive identity information.
The camera is used only to scan the PDF417 barcode on the back of an ID. ID Age Scanner does not need Photos, Location, Microphone, NFC, Contacts, or an account.
No. ID Age Scanner assists age screening by reading supported barcode data, checking the configured age rule, checking expiration, and flagging missing or unusual fields for manual review.
No in the current release. Scanning, parsing, decisions, local history, and statistics are processed on this device.
ID Age Scanner saves minimal local summaries such as result, scan time, age or age rule summary, expiration status, issuing jurisdiction, and review reasons. Raw barcode data, full name, address, and license number are not saved.
Use the history or settings data controls to delete individual records or clear local history.
Yes. The default rule is 21+. You can configure comparison rules such as less than, greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, and range-based rules.
REVIEW means idscan could not make a clear automatic decision, for example because fields were missing, a date was invalid, or the barcode format was not fully supported.
