The Dualpass is designed for quick deployment at entry points, reception desks, or service counters. The device connects via a standard power connection and requires a network connection (wired or Wi-Fi) for full platform access and live flagging queries. Hardware arrives pre-configured to your account, and Patronscan’s onboarding team supports initial setup and staff training. Specific setup requirements, including power and network specifications, can be confirmed during a product demo.

Two Screens. Zero Guesswork.
Unlike general-purpose barcode readers, the Patronscan Dualpass was engineered from the ground-up for high-risk environments where the cost of a missed fake, or a wrongful refusal, is real.
The Dualpass doesn’t read IDs. It questions them.
8,500+ forensic checks per scan. A live shared flagging network. Results on both screens in under 10 seconds. That’s not a scanner. That’s two decades of forensic intelligence at your door.

faster access to inspection results
At Patronscan, we don’t just build systems – we build confidence. Every scan represents a safer space for people to gather, work, and celebrate.”
Patroscan has significantly improved how we manage inspection data and reporting.Having everything centralized makes it easier to track findings, support compliance,and make confident decisions.
Our ID validation hardware is purpose-built for the environments our customers actually operate in. Every design decision starts with reliability and ease of use, because that’s what matters at the point of entry
When a patron presents their ID, the Dualpass scanner captures the document and immediately begins multi-layer forensic analysis. In under one second, the system completes a basic age check and barcode validation.
Dualpass analyzes over 8,500 data points, including UV security layers, infrared patterns, microprinting, holographic elements, and the structural integrity of the document against a database of 5,000+ verified ID types from around the world.

Both Sides See the Truth
The Dualpass has two screens: one facing your operator and one facing the patron. When an ID is scanned, both sides see the result in real time. Legitimate guests get fast, transparent verification. Anyone attempting to pass a fake walks up to a device that is already working against them. Your door team has a clear, authoritative result to point to, not a judgment call.
Forensic Detection Beyond the Barcode
Basic scanners read the barcode and move on. Dualpass runs 8,500+ forensic data point checks per scan, cross-referencing UV security layers, infrared patterns, microprinting, holographic elements, and encoded data against a global database of verified document structures. The fakes that pass a simple barcode read do not pass Dualpass.
Shared Intelligence Across the Network
Every scan feeds Patronscan’s shared flagging network. A banned patron or a flagged fake ID caught at one venue is automatically tagged across every connected location. Your door team does not need to know every active ban in the network. The Dualpass does. Set your own custom rules and alerts, and any flag your venue creates protects other connected venues too.
Built Into the Patronscan Ecosystem
Dualpass connects directly to the PatronScan platform, the same software running Guard+, Handheld Series 2, and Omnipass. Manage entry rules, alerts, and flagging from one dashboard whether you run one location or a national group. A flag set on a Dualpass applies across every device on your account, instantly.
The Patronscan Platform
Every scan is logged and connected to the Patronscan shared intelligence network.
A flagged ID detected at your venue is automatically shared across every connected location. Custom alert rules, by age threshold, patron flag level, or ID type, are configured through the Patronscan platform and apply across all devices on your account in real time.
What makes the Dualpass different
Unlike standard barcode ID scanners that only validate the encoded data on the back of an ID, the DualPass runs 8,500+ forensic checks per scan, analyzing UV layers, infrared patterns, microprinting, holograms, and document structure to detect high-quality fake IDs that pass a basic barcode read. The patron-facing screen provides transparent, real-time verification results that reduce disputes and deter fraud attempts at the point of entry.
Scan IDs with Speed
The Dualpass completes a basic age check and barcode validation in under one second. For full forensic multi-layer verification, covering UV, infrared, hologram, and microprint analysis, most scans complete in under 10 seconds. The dual-screen display shows results to both operator and patron simultaneously as the scan completes, keeping queue throughput moving without sacrificing detection depth.
Scan IDs from Around the World
The Dualpass supports over 5,000 ID types from around the world, including all North American driver’s licenses (every US state and territory, all Canadian provinces), international passports, national identity cards, military IDs, and regional government-issued documents. Patronscan’s document database is updated regularly to keep pace with new ID formats, security features, and emerging counterfeit patterns.
Join the Patronscan Flag Network
Every scan processed by the Dualpass is automatically checked against Patronscan’s shared flag network. If an ID has been flagged at any connected venue for a fake ID attempt or a compliance incident, the Dualpass surfaces that flag to your operator with an instant, customizable alert. You can configure your own flagging rules and alert thresholds through the Patronscan platform, and any flag your venue creates is automatically shared across the network to protect other connected locations.

Create Custom Entry Rules and Alerts
Through the Patronscan platform software, you can configure custom rules based on ID data. For example, you can automatically alert staff when a scanned ID belongs to someone under a specified age, a previously banned patron, or someone on an internal watchlist. Alerts are triggered in real time on both Dualpass screens and can be configured as visual or auditory cues. Rules can be set per location and updated at any time without hardware changes.

Connect the Dualpass to any other Patronscan Product
The Dualpass is one of several PatronScan hardware options, alongside the Guard+ kiosk, Handheld Series 2, and Omnipass. All devices run on the same Patronscan platform software, so a flag created on a Dualpass is visible to a Guard+ at another location, and a ban set through the platform applies across every device on your account instantly. This makes Dualpass a natural fit for multi-venue operators who want consistent flagging and reporting across all their locations from a single dashboard.
