What our current users say

"We were looking for age verification solutions several years ago focused on the cannabis industry and found Minor Decliner. We have them in all our stores and they are quick and accurate, and simple to use for all our age verification needs."

-Charisse, Lightshade Labs

"We have been working with Minor Decliner for 2 years. Their gaming room entry system has been a reliable solution that has provided ID scanning capability to our video gaming rooms. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking ID scanning solution provider."

-Tim S., Regional Business Development Manager

"I should have learned... I could have purchased several MinorDecliner's for the cost of the fines. The system is a no brainer - just scan the ID and get an instant answer"

-Richard, Convenience Store Owner

"We needed an age verification system to meet unique industry specific requirements. Minor Decliner was the obvious choice. From the beginning, they listened to our needs and now (years into our relationship) continue to be an extremely responsive and agile partner."

-John, Security Firm - Illinois

"We purchased a Minor Decliner in March of 2019 after an enforcement violation in the previous month when we were very busy on a Friday evening. An employee checked an ID in good faith and while the year was valid for purchase, the month of birthdate was not. Needless to say, the price of Minor Decliner was half the price of the violation."

-Tom M., Distribution Inc. Danville, PA

Does Minor Decliner scan passports and military ID's?

The US Government prohibits using Military ID for non-Government uses, including as ID for an age restricted purchase.

The scanning of the technologies (to include barcodes) on Department of Defense ID cards is for U.S. government use only. The information is marked for official use only.

Not only is it unwise to photocopy military and government IDs or common access cards (CAC), it's actually illegal under Title 18, U.S. Code Part I, Chapter 33, Section 701, and is punishable by fine and imprisonment.

While other companies may claim to offer this feature, Minor Decliner is not going to run afoul of the Department of Defense and the US Government. Be very careful if someone says they can scan Military IDs. You may be exposing yourself and your company to big problems.
