In our last post here on the Southwest Office Solutions blog, we discussed how to use a Xerox MFP to accept electronic signatures. In today’s post, we’ll take a look at an at least tangentially related technology: how to use your Xerox MFP to confirm the validity of an identification card—something more and more businesses need to do on a daily basis.

The Xerox ID Checker App provides an easy, secure, and reliable way to confirm the validity of an identification card—and it only takes a few seconds.

Here’s how it works: users will have the option to scan most forms of ID document using their Xerox MFP. Documents include driver’s licenses, passports, country IDs, and more. The user will then be prompted to preview the scan right at the Xerox machine’s display panel in order to ensure that everything was captured correctly. Finally, the user will be able to validate the ID, and even gets the option to email or print out a certificate of authenticity.

The app supports multiple languages and ID sources. A full list of ID document types which are supported by the app can be viewed in this document, which is frequently updated as updates roll out.

Preventing the Likelihood of ID Fraud By Eliminating Manual Errors

Did you know that manual detection of ID fraud can result in failure rates of up to 50%? In other words, when a person—even a trained person—is checking IDs themselves, they might miss up to half of non-valid identification documents. While that doesn’t always indicate fraud, it’s certainly a major risk.

With the Xerox ID Checker App, the need for manually detecting ID problems is completely eliminated, so the risk of error is greatly reduced. This can save your business or organization time and money.
