ID scanning is the process of using a device, typically a scanner or a mobile app, to read the information from a person's identification card. This could be a driver's license, passport, or any other form of government-issued ID.
While there is no specific federal law that directly regulates ID scanning, several federal laws govern the privacy of consumer information and may be relevant to ID scanning practices. These include the Digital Identity Act, Consumer Protection Act, Drivers Privacy Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and Title 18 related to Military ID Card Scanning.
Understanding these laws is crucial for businesses, organizations, and individuals involved in any form of ID scanning. It's not just about compliance—it's about protecting your reputation, avoiding hefty fines, and ensuring the trust of your customers or clients.
The information obtained from scanning an ID can vary, but it typically includes the cardholder's full name, date of birth, ID expiration date, and the ID number. Some scanners can also read the address and other encoded information.
The use of information from scanned IDs depends on the entity doing the scanning. Businesses may use it for age verification, fraud prevention, or maintaining records of transactions. However, the use of this information is regulated by various privacy laws.
Yes, businesses can store the information obtained from ID scanning, but they must comply with relevant federal and state privacy laws. These laws often require businesses to safeguard personal information and limit its use and disclosure.
Non-compliance with ID scanning laws can result in various penalties, including hefty fines, lawsuits, and damage to the organization's reputation.
