Patronscan is a global age verification and ID scanning company. What started as a tool to stop fake IDs at the door has become a platform trusted by thousands of operators across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. We have processed more than 500 million scans and caught over 10,893,142 fake IDs to date.

Our Story
Founded in 2005 with a vision to enhance safety, protect owners, and save communities, all while eliminating fake IDs, Patronscan has become a global leader in ID scanning and age verification technology. We’re a team of engineers, innovators, and go-getters who believe in delivering the highest levels of ID scanning service to our clients, our communities, and each other.
The idea was straightforward: give businesses a reliable, privacy-first way to verify who was walking through their door. Their first customer signed up in British Columbia in 2006. From that single customer, Patronscan grew into the largest ID scanning network in North America and Australia.
Today we operate across more than 300 cities worldwide, spanning four countries. Our team brings together engineers, product specialists, compliance experts, and customer success professionals all focused on making identity verification work for the real world.
