Regula has introduced a new embedded document reader, the Regula 7223E, designed to streamline ID card checks at self-service kiosks and e-gates.
According to the company, the new document reader was built specifically for ID-1 format documents, such as driver’s licenses and national ID cards.
The compact scanner helps borders and businesses speed up identity checks, reduce user errors and deliver a better customer experience at scale, Regula adds.
Self-service solutions are the new norm in airports, hotels, casinos and secure facilities, Regula adds.
But verifying ID cards especially when users insert them incorrectly or need to scan both sides separately—remains a common point of friction. The Regula 7223E solves this problem with:
The result: faster lines, fewer errors and a smoother process for customers and operators alike.
The Regula 7223E is based on the desktop ID card reader Regula 72X3, which was released several years ago.
According to the company, the new OEM version responds to new challenges and can be used as a standalone document reader at kiosks, e-gates or other self-service points.
Regula explains that the 7223E also has enhanced capabilities thanks to full compatibility with Regula’s embedded full-page document reader Regula 70X8M, enabling businesses to automatically route different document types, such as passports or ID cards, to the correct device.
The built-in indicator guides users through the process, improving usability and speeding up verification workflows.
Like all Regula document readers, the 7223E is backed by Regula Document Reader SDK, a comprehensive document verification software solution that enables multiple automated checks (including analyzing MRZ data, barcodes, RFID chips and visual elements) to prove IDs’ authenticity.
It draws on Regula’s proprietary world’s largest identity document template database, which includes over 15,000 templates from 252 countries and territories, the company adds.
Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula commented: “We designed the Regula 7223E to remove unnecessary friction in ID checks.
“With this launch, we now offer a complete suite of embedded readers tailored to document type, with shared software tools and synchronized operation.
“Whether verifying a passport or an ID card, organizations can count on fast, reliable and accurate data capture and authentication from a single trusted provider,” Lewanowicz concluded.
