Benefits of Regula Document Readers

30 years of innovations

Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, has transformed 30 years of experience in the industry into best-in-class ID document readers.

Multiple automated authenticity checks

Regula products cover all steps of ID authenticity examination, from document type identification to RFID chip reading. Depending on the device model, there are a particular set of automated checks to facilitate decision-making.

Long-term warranty

Regula devices are dust-, shock*-, and waterproof*, offering high durability in different climates and operation conditions. Reliability, coupled with an extended warranty period, is one of the reasons why our readers now serve over 80 borders around the world.

* Available on select devices.

Accurate automatic data extraction

With a data entry automation feature, ID readers by Regula increasingly streamline and accelerate the data handling workflow. Once an ID is scanned and verified, all information on the document’s holder comes to your systems immediately.

Advanced image capture

Regula tools capture high-quality document images under different light sources. That makes it possible to create detailed digital records of physical passports, ID cards, or driver’s licenses to be sent to second-line departments for more in-depth examination.

Smooth integration in the current process

All Regula document readers are ready to use out of the box. To start ID scanning, simply connect the device to the PC and run the program or press the power button in case of battery-powered devices.

Simple operation

Both compact and larger ID readers are ergonomic and user-friendly. The user interface, available across all devices, has no unnecessary parts, making the tools easy to use for everyone, from law enforcement officers to hotel receptionists.

Information Reference System by Regula

As no inspector will be able to know every ID document in the world, Regula provides the world’s most detailed database of identity and travel document specimens as an optional software component to perform additional checks manually.

Innovations in ID Readers Developed by Regula Engineers:

Creating the Information Reference System (IRS)

Verification in the Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ)

Enhanced checks of document authenticity

Recognizing the document holder's photo

By expanding our readers’ functionality to ID photo recognition, Regula enhanced the identity document verification procedure, which initially included MRZ reading only.

Creating a document template database

Having an in-house ID document reference database increases the capabilities of the devices, and makes it possible to verify passports issued around the globe.

Data cross-checks

Comparing personal information from a database with info extracted from machine-readable and visual inspection zones, as well as barcodes, is an innovative feature that set a new industry standard.

Color full-page passport readers

These devices were the first of their kind on the market, making history and significantly improving the quality of automated identity document checks.

Semiconductor light sources

Using new-gen LED light sources instead of outdated UV and infrared lamps makes it possible to extend the service life of the devices, and accelerates the verification process.

User-friendly mobile readers

Launching mobile page-spread ID readers with the full functionality of on-site devices broke new ground for border control at crossings around the world.

USB-powered readers

Regula’s devices were the first to feature a port capable of transferring both power and data simultaneously.

Creating the Information Reference System (IRS)

The current version of the IRS, the world's most detailed database of secure document samples, comprises over 12000 documents from 225+ countries and territories.

Verification in the Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ)

Regula devices' capability to recognize and read the ID layout, along with all typed, printed, or embossed data on passports, has vastly improved automated document verification.

Enhanced checks of document authenticity

By integrating additional automated controls that focus on verifying security features within ID documents, we've streamlined the process while ensuring top-notch security.
