Authenticate Visitors by Scanning Government-Issued Identification

Verify Visitors by Scanning Driver’s Licenses or Other Forms of Legal ID

Has Mickey Mouse ever visitors your office? What about Seymour Butts? 

All jokes aside, verifying the real identities of your visitors is serious business. Plus, it can speed up the visitor registration process by grabbing several pieces of visitor information directly from their driver's license or other forms of government-issued identification.

The incredibly customizable visitor management system doubles as a barcode scanner. Not only can Greetly's visitor management system read many forms of legal identification, including most military ID cards, but we can also scan many corporate ID cards to instantly authenticate visitors and employees for a fast and secure check in process.

How Visitor Management with an Integrated ID Scanner Keeps Your Workplace Safe

Some workplaces use virtual receptionist software for host notifications. Others also value the cloud-based visitor log for easy compliance with audits.

More secure work environments don't just ask visitors who they are, they verify that information by scanning driver's licenses, passports, and other forms of government-issued ID. This ensures no unwanted visitor bypasses their 'be on the lookout for' (BOLO) or watchlist. It also guarantees that the name on the nondisclosure electronic signatures matches the visitor's true legal identity.

Works With Most ID Cards

With Greetly, the camera on the visitor registration kiosk or the visitor's own smartphone acts as an ID scanner. We can read the barcode on most state driver's licenses (whether Real ID or standard), passports, and forms of military ID. This includes identification issued by US jurisdictions and other countries' governments.

Works With Many Company ID Cards

Not just legal forms of identification. If it has a barcode, Greetly can probably read corporate ID cards as well. Click "See It Live" to instantly schedule a demo to see if Greetly will work with your company's IDs.

Automatically Captures Visitor Information

Once Greetly's ID scan tool works its magic, it automatically captures key information, like legal name, birthday, and the government-issued ID number, and attaches it to the visitor's check in record. Depending on your preferences this can be automatically stored in your cloud-based visitor logbook.

Can Check Visitor Against Other Databases

One way Greetly can keep your people safe and productive is our watchlist feature. Greetly will automatically check the visitor's legal name against your watchlist. As your Account Manager about our ability to compare the visitor to third-party databases like criminal or sex offender lists, FINRA list, and many others.
