ID scans but BCS app shows different info - is this normal?
Got my ID from a popular vendor last week (not naming them publicly yet). When I scan it with the PDF417 scanner app, it pulls up my info correctly.
BUT when I tested it with the BCS ID Scanner app that some bars use, it shows my info but also displays a weird error code at the bottom. Something like "Verification: Review Required"
**My questions:**
1. Do all fake IDs trigger this on BCS or did I get a bad one?
2. Will bouncers see this error or is it only visible in certain modes?
3. Should I contact the vendor about this?
The physical quality looks great - template, holos, UV all check out. Just worried about this scanning issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm nervous to actually use it now.

BCS app has different verification levels. That "Review Required" message usually means the barcode scans but the app detected some inconsistency - could be issue date format, encoding, etc. Most bouncers don't use BCS in full verification mode though, they just quick scan. You're probably fine but I'd test it at a chill liquor store first before trying strict bars.

Which vendor? This sounds like a known issue with some sellers who don't encode the barcode properly. PM me the vendor name, curious if it's who I think it is.
