Most US states shield a venue from liability when staff scanned the ID electronically. Carded is that scanner. Every ID, every door, every night.
One motion at the door reads the barcode, checks the ID is genuine, unexpired and old enough, and writes a permanent line to the log. The line keeps moving; the paperwork writes itself.
Point at the back of any licence. Genuine, unexpired, old enough — one answer, no judgement calls.
Every scan writes a tamper-evident line: one-way hash, age bracket, result, door and time. That's your affirmative-defense trail.
Scanning and verdicts run on the device. Basements, marquees and festival fields all work; the log syncs when signal returns.
IDs are read on-device and discarded. Carded never stores a name, number or photo — nothing to breach, nothing to sell.
A separate owner app, away from the door: live scans per door and device, denials by reason, returning-versus-new clientele, and a one-tap compliance export the moment a regulator or insurer asks.
Most US states protect a venue that verified an ID electronically. Carded is that verification — and the receipt. If a scan happened, you can prove it.
Each scan keeps a one-way hash, age bracket and result. That's enough to spot a returning guest and defend a decision.

“The morning after an incident, I pulled the exact scan in about ten seconds. That log is the whole reason we sleep at night now.”
“Door staff picked it up in a shift. It's faster than eyeballing a licence, and I finally have numbers instead of a clicker and a guess.”
One subscription covers the whole venue — every door and device, unlimited managers and door staff. No per-scan fees, no setup fee.
