Scan a license. Fill the form. Done in seconds.
OtterSign Scan reads the barcode on a U.S. driver’s license and autofills your waiver or smart form instantly. No typing, no extra hardware, and every scan is logged to your account.
~3 sec per scan
iPhone camera no hardware
100% of scans logged
An autofill shortcut, not an identity check.
OtterSign Scan reads the barcode on the back of a license and drops the details straight into your form. It’s built for speed at the counter, not for verifying whether the ID is authentic. That’s what OtterSign Identify is for, further down this page.
Autofill smart forms
Name, date of birth, address, and license number fill in automatically the moment the barcode is read.
Every scan logged
Each scan is timestamped and recorded to your account, so you have a record that a scan happened, and when.
Mobile-ready
Works with your iPhone camera. No scanner, no dongle. Android support is coming.
Three features. Three different jobs.
Scan, Cards, and Identify all touch “ID” but solve different problems. Here’s how to tell them apart before you pick one.
1
SPEED
Scan
Reads a government ID's barcode and autofills your form. No verification of authenticity.
- Barcode read, no photo capture
- ~3 seconds per scan
- See ottersign.com/pricing for cost

2
ISSUANCE
Cards
Issues your own branded membership card with a QR code for repeat check-ins.
- You control the credential, not a government ID
- Apple Wallet-ready
- Best for recurring members, not one-time signers
- Use it when: the same person checks in again and again and needs a fast pass.

VERIFICATION
Identify
Confirms who's on the other side of the screen, with a government ID and optional biometric selfie, before they're allowed to open the document.
- Results in under 2 minutes
- Full audit trail per signature
- Credit-metered per verification attempt
- Use it when: a contract shouldn't be opened by the wrong person, or you need to win a chargeback dispute.
Fast check-ins for high-volume verification.
Trusted across industries that process a lot of IDs, a lot of the time.
Shooting Sports
End-to-end protection for range waivers and identity data at the counter.

Every scan runs through the same controls as everything else in OtterSign.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored on infrastructure covered by our SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits.
In transit & at rest
Scan data is encrypted end to end, the same standard applied across the OtterSign platform.
Role-based by default
Only the roles you assign can view scanned ID data inside your account.
Timestamped and traceable
Every scan is recorded with a timestamp and linked to its agreement for audit purposes.
Before you start using it.
Is OtterSign Scan the same as identity verification?
No. Scan reads a license barcode and autofills your form. It does not confirm the ID is authentic or that the person holding it is who they claim to be. For that, use OtterSign Identify.
What devices does OtterSign Scan support?
It’s optimized for iPhone today. Android support is planned. No additional hardware is required beyond your device camera.
Is the data secure?
Yes. All scanned data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and covered by our SOC 2-aligned security practices and role-based access controls.
Does the scan autofill my forms?
Yes. After a scan, details such as name, date of birth, address, ID number, and expiration populate directly into OtterSign smart forms and agreements.
How is a scan recorded for compliance?
Each scan is logged with a timestamp and linked to the agreement record, so it shows up in that document’s audit trail.
Do customers need to install an app?
No. Scanning happens inside the OtterSign signing experience on supported devices.
