# ID Checks ID Checks allow the point of sale to prompt the cashier to collect the customer’s ID information to confirm they are old enough to purchase the product. There can be up to six different ID Checks configured. See the Age Restriction Feature Reference Manual for more information on ID Check configuration.

Field/Button	Description
Name	The name of the ID check will be entered here.
Age	The minimum age of the customer who can purchase the item. The date calculation is based off the local Verifone Commander’s date and time settings.
Bypass ID Check	If this parameter is enabled, it allows the cashier to skip the ID Check and confirm the customer is allowed to purchase the item. If the cashier does not select confirm, then the item is not added to the transaction.
Security Level	This setting is used with the Bypass ID Check field. The security level field sets a security level for the Bypass ID function. For example, if the security level was set to 7 then POS users with security level of 7 would be able to use the Bypass ID check function.
Confirmation Prompt	This setting is used with the Bypass ID Check field. It will prompt the cashier to accept the confirmation prompt that the customer is permitted to buy the item.
Force Scan / Swipe Only	When Force Scan/Swipe Only is enabled, the cashier is not allowed to enter the details manually. A bar code scanner or magnetic strip reader (MSR) captures birth date information from the ID card’s bar code or magnetic stripe. The collected information will perform an automated mathematical check to ensure the consumer meets the minimum age requirement to approve the transaction. If the consumer is below the minimum age requirement, the transaction will not complete.
Perform ID Legitimacy Check	This setting is used with Force Scan/Swipe Only. A bar code scanner or MSR captures at least two pieces of personal information from the ID card’s bar code/magnetic stripe and temporarily display them to the clerk on the POS screen. • Piece of personal information #1: ID Card Full Name • Piece of personal information #2: License Number The cashier compares the information displayed on the POS screen with the information on the physical ID. If there is no mismatch the cashier can approve the transaction, or they can decline the transaction if there is a mismatch between the information presented.
Manual Security Override	This setting is used with Force Scan/Swipe Only. When selected, a POS user with a high enough security level can manually enter ID details even when ‘Force Scan/Swipe Only’ is selected. The Security Level drop-down menu below this option is the security level set for Manual Security Override.
Online Age Verification	Enable for TruAge Digital ID verification. Additional settings are needed for this functionality to work. See the Age Restriction Feature Reference for more details.
Exceptions	Military and date-based exceptions can be configured for each ID Check. Military Exception - After manual entry of the date of birth (DOB) from the ID, if the DOB fails standard minimum age limit check, but passes military minimum age limit test, a prompt will appear for the cashier to confirm if it is a military ID. Date Based or Grandfather Exception - Grandfather age check is based on a past minimum age requirement. If the DOB check meets this secondary date-based exception, the transaction can be completed.
