Overview
VeriScan is a cloud-based ID scanning and age verification tool that syncs seamlessly with the Dutchie platform. IDScan.net is the parent company of the VeriScan product.
If you’d like more information on ID scanning for dispensaries, check out the IDScan.net web page on cannabis dispensary ID scanning.
VeriScan scans the 2D barcode on the back of the ID, or the machine readable zone (MRZ) on a passport, and parses the information stored there, allowing you to validate and check-in customers quickly and efficiently. Newly scanned IDs will create new Dutchie customer profiles, and subsequent ID scans will add to the customer’s visit history.
VeriScan also provides age verification and ID authentication. Age verification can be performed using any device. ID authentication and catching fake IDs requires specialty hardware such as the CR5400 or M500. All Dutchie-compatible hardware can be purchased directly on the IDScan.net website.

Things to Know
VeriScan ID scanning is compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS. Contact your sales representative for information about alternative ID scanning solutions for macOS.
If you want to use VeriScan for multiple unique guest lists (Adult Use vs. Medical in the same location, or different store locations) you'll need separate PCs or tablets for each guest list and an ID scanner for each PC or tablet.
The E-Seek M280 ID scanner works for most states' IDs. Colorado IDs issued between 2016 and 2021 have a barcode defect that requires the E-Seek M500 ID scanner.
If you haven't already purchased ID scanners through Dutchie, you can order them from IDscan.net. You do not need to purchase any software from IDScan.net, your ID scanning licenses will be billed through your Dutchie account.
If you are looking to catch a high degree of fake IDs or meet the highest standards of age verification, you will want to purchase VeriScan Authentication, and will need an ID scanner capable of performing document authentication. The E-Seek M500, Thales AT9K, and Thales CR5400 are all compatible with VeriScan Authentication. The IDScan.net team can help you purchase VeriScan Authentication.
