Scan an identity document

Use the Mews identity scanner to scan a customer's identity documents when you create their profile—it's built into Commander, and works for any travel document with a Machine Readable Zone.

Note: It’s also possible to use identity scanners from third party integrations—for setup instructions, contact the ID scanner provider.

1. Go to Main menu > Profiles > Customer.
2. Click the + button.
3. Click Mews identity scanner.
4. Hold the identity document in the square—make sure the machine-readable zone is visible!
5. Click Scan, then double-check your changes and click Save.
