The scanner is accurate, fast and easy to use. Using a variety of light sources and RFID, it veries documents such as passports, driving licences, work and residency permits, and any other document with in built security features. All scanned data is recorded where the information can be forensically examined and veried. The device digitally stores the data it captures and will reduce administration time and costs by using the validated information to populate application or other HR forms.
