Our online references offer sophisticated ID checking at any location—including mobile access.

Altered and false IDs pose a challenge for access control, whether at ports, military bases, vital records services, or entrances to buildings. In addition, ID checks for DMV license verification and proof of identity, courts, and law enforcement need verification that is quick and easy-to-use. We help in special areas, too, like ID checks for HSPD-12 requirements (for issuing documents per the HSPD-12 Directive).
Every year, government agencies at more than 30,000 locations count on our references for access control, monitoring of document issuance, and other needs.
