ID scanner

Credential reading device

An ID scanner is a device that reads and verifies identification documents—driver's licenses, passports, or ID cards.

Scanners extract information from barcodes, magnetic strips, or chips, checking age verification at bars and clubs, validating credentials at secure facilities, or processing customer data at retailers: The bouncer ran my license through the ID scanner.
