City of Charleston Concludes Successful Intellicheck ID Verification Pilot, Launches Permanent Program
12 Julio 2023 - 7:10AM
Business Wire
Following the successful completion of its 6-month pilot
program, the city of Charleston today announced a permanent ID
verification program in partnership with Intellicheck, Inc., an
identity validation company that provides cutting-edge ID
verification technology used by law enforcement agencies across the
country.
About the pilot: During the pilot program, supported by
the city and Explore Charleston, 30 downtown establishments had an
opportunity to test Intellicheck’s ID verification tool in an
effort to eliminate underage drinking and make the Central Business
District a safer place for students, residents and visitors
alike.
Throughout the 6-month trial period, Intellicheck’s mobile
app-based technology was used to perform more than 100,000 ID scans
that identified approximately 3,400 fake or invalid IDs. As a
result, these IDs were prevented from being used by those illegally
seeking to gain access to late-night establishments and alcoholic
beverages.
Intellicheck’s ID verification technology, which is presently
used by the Charleston Police Department and South Carolina Law
Enforcement Division, has proven to be more than 99 percent
accurate in authenticating IDs in under one second using existing
mobile devices or point-of-sale scanners.
Moving forward: With the launch of the city’s new,
permanent partnership with Intellicheck, businesses located within
city limits are invited to take advantage of the ID scanning
technology, which includes five mobile app licenses to be used by
employees.

What they’re saying: Charleston Mayor John
Tecklenburg: “As this pilot program clearly demonstrates,
stopping underage drinking makes King Street, and our whole city,
safer. We look forward to welcoming many more local businesses to
the Intellicheck program and continuing to work together to protect
our residents and visitors alike.”
Councilman Michael S. Seekings: "For the last six months,
we’ve seen firsthand the positive impact that can made through
public-private partnerships. Together, we’ve taken great strides
toward eliminating underage drinking in our community, and this is
just the beginning."
Lieutenant James Byrne, Commander of the CPD’s Central
Business District Division: “As law enforcement officials, our
main focus is protecting our communities, and our partnership with
Intellicheck has been instrumental to our efforts to combat the use
of fake IDs by underage individuals. As this technology becomes
available to businesses citywide, we have a valuable opportunity to
prevent the tragedies that often occur due to underage drinking and
create a safer environment for all."
Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis: "We are very proud of the
results of our efforts working with the city of Charleston, Explore
Charleston, area law enforcement agencies and King Street area
businesses to help prevent underage drinking. High-tech fake IDs
are readily and inexpensively available to young people on the web.
Unfortunately, young people don’t recognize the dangerous situation
they create for themselves and others when they use those
sophisticated fake IDs to access alcohol and other age-restricted
products. This is only the beginning as we look forward to working
with businesses throughout the city of Charleston."
