ABC Enforcement Officers and Retail Liquor
Stores Utilizing Age ID to Catch Fake IDs
The Durham County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC) in
North Carolina is employing Intellicheck's (NYSE MKT:IDN) Age ID™
throughout the county to prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages to
minors. At eight retail liquor store locations operated by the
Durham County ABC Board, Age ID is being used by employees and
sworn law enforcement officers to scan driver licenses and other
forms of identification to catch altered and fake IDs.
Durham County, North Carolina has a large college student
population. In addition to its resident population, it is home to
Duke University and is in close proximity to several other large
higher education institutions. Data from the State of North
Carolina 2013 Report to Congress on the Prevention and Reduction of
Underage Drinking reveals the scope of underage drinking issues
that face enforcement officers and employees at retail liquor
stores. According to the report, 20.7 percent of youths ages 15 to
17 reported they had used alcohol in the past month and 12.1
percent reported binge drinking in the same period. Among young
people aged 18 to 20, 43.8 percent reported past month alcohol use
and another 24.3 percent reported binge drinking during the prior
30-day period.
“We are honored to have this opportunity to be a part of the
solution to the challenges posed by underage drinking in the
community through our partnership with the Durham County ABC Board.
We have seen the significant impact Age ID is having for state ABC
boards across the country that are using Age ID to catch fake IDs
with its ability to deliver real-time identification
authentication. We are confident that Age ID will be instrumental
in precluding the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors at Durham
County ABC stores,” said Dr. William Roof, CEO of Intellicheck. Dr.
Roof commented that in addition to being a proven deterrent to the
sale of other age restricted products such as tobacco and cannabis
to minors, the state-of-the-art technology is equally effective in
guarding against underage access to age-restricted events and
venues.
Age ID reads the data encoded on driver licenses and government
issued IDs, verifying the authenticity of the ID and age
information in real-time. It can be deployed on mobile devices
including smartphones and tablets and can be integrated with
point-of-sale solutions. Age ID draws on a comprehensive,
proprietary database, updated on an ongoing basis, to ensure
information is timely and accurate. It provides the most up-to-date
solution to the problem of spotting fake and altered IDs with its
ability to read more than 250 unique DMV barcode formats from every
U.S. state, Canadian provinces, and Mexican states.
