Detailed Review
History and Founding
IDScan.net began as a garage startup in the New Orleans tech ecosystem, graduating from the Idea Village accelerator and later establishing its global headquarters in the University of New Orleans Research & Technology Park (now The Beach at UNO). The company's first product, VeriScan for iOS, was an early entrant in mobile ID scanning, capturing data from driver licenses and passports using the iPhone camera. Co-founder Denis Petrov served as CEO until at least 2021; he is no longer listed on the leadership page, having been replaced by Jimmy Roussel as CEO.
Products and Platforms
The company has built a cloud-based identity fraud prevention platform that includes: VeriScan – a mobile application for scanning and parsing IDs, passports, and mobile driver licenses (mDLs), available in multiple languages; DIVE (Digital Identity Verification Engine) – a remote identity verification solution for KYC/AML compliance using adaptive AI for document authentication, face matching, and third-party database checks; ParseLink – a data automation tool that integrates with property management systems to expedite hotel check-in via ID capture; IDWare Profit – a vendor management solution for retail that combines ID scanning with return-fraud prevention and vendor tracking; ID Fraud Prevention Platform – the overarching cloud service integrating ID scanning, age verification, AI authentication (including UV/IR analysis and hologram checks), and a REST API/native SDKs; and Hardware Scanners – physical devices from partners such as Unitech, Thales, and E-Seek, with ultraviolet/infrared capabilities for advanced forgery detection.
Technology and Market Position
The company's adaptive AI models are trained on hundreds of millions of identity documents, claiming to flag 95% of fake IDs. IDScan.net publishes annual ID Fraud Reports analyzing trends in fake ID usage and deepfake fraud. It was among the first to enable acceptance of state-issued mobile IDs in Apple Wallet in 2024. With approximately 70 employees and a presence across the U.S. and Europe, IDScan.net continues to target high-compliance verticals, aiming to redefine identity verification through machine learning, biometrics, and behavioral analytics.
Recent Developments
Strategic leadership changes include the appointment of Jimmy Roussel as CEO (replacing co-founder Denis Petrov) and the addition of Chief Revenue Officer Nick Peace. The company has deepened integrations with partners such as ARGO, and its platform is used by over 7,000 clients. IDScan.net has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list and maintains offices in New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seattle, and Europe.
