Important Note on Fake ID Detection
ScanMe is not designed to be a comprehensive fake ID detector. While the app can verify that data encoded in a barcode is properly formatted, sophisticated counterfeits may include functional barcodes with false information.
For thorough ID verification, consider these additional checks:
- Examine physical security features (holograms, microprinting, UV elements)
- Check for inconsistencies in font or spacing
- Verify the card's physical properties (thickness, edges, lamination)
- Cross-reference with other forms of identification when necessary
