Regula has introduced the Regula 7223E, an embedded document reader designed to streamline ID card checks at self-service kiosks and e-gates. This compact scanner is specifically built for ID-1 format documents, such as driver’s licenses and national ID cards, reducing user errors and improving customer experience. Self-service solutions are becoming more common in airports, hotels, and secure facilities. The Regula 7223E solves this problem with: Dual-side scanning in a single step; No-wrong-way card insertion; Automatic ejection after scanning. The result: faster lines, fewer errors, and a smoother process for customers and operators alike. The Regula 7223E is a standalone document reader based on the desktop ID card reader Regula 72X3. It can be used at kiosks, e-gates, or self-service points and is compatible with Regula’s embedded full-page document reader Regula 70X8M. The built-in indicator guides users through the process, improving usability and speeding up verification workflows. The 7223E is backed by Regula Document Reader SDK, a comprehensive document verification software solution that enables multiple automated checks to prove IDs’ authenticity. It draws on Regula’s proprietary identity document template database, which includes over 15,000 templates from 252 countries and territories.
