ID Card Scanner
Digitize national and corporate ID cards securely
An ID card scanner uses AI-powered OCR to extract printed text from national ID cards, driver's licenses, government-issued IDs, and corporate badges. NexaLink's scanner reads name, ID number, date of birth, address, and expiration date with 99% accuracy — then saves everything as a digital contact or secure PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ID cards can I scan?
NexaLink scans national ID cards, driver's licenses, government-issued IDs, employee badges, voter ID cards, residence permits, and social security cards. Any printed ID with text is supported.
Is it safe to scan sensitive ID documents?
Yes. All scanning happens locally on your device. Data is stored in encrypted storage and never uploaded to external servers unless you explicitly export it.
Can it read the barcode or MRZ on my ID?
Yes. The scanner reads both printed text and machine-readable zones (MRZ) found on passports and modern ID cards. Barcodes on the back of driver's licenses are also supported.
Does it work with non-English ID cards?
Yes. Our OCR supports 50+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
How accurate is the ID scanning?
99% accuracy on clearly printed IDs. For best results, use a dark background, avoid glare on laminated cards, and ensure both text and photo are in focus.
Can I scan multiple IDs at once?
Yes. Batch scanning mode lets you scan multiple IDs in rapid succession. Each is processed separately and saved as individual records.
