ID Document Scanning

With document scanning, you can scan ID documents (such as a passport or driver’s license) using a third-party scanning interface which then populates the information into the ID fields of the Guest or Contact profile. The profile for which the identification is scanned must be an individual profile, that is a Guest profile or Contact profile. In addition, ID document scanning only supports passport and enhanced driver’s license document types.

Workflow

Use the following workflow when setting up and working with ID document scanning:

  1. Enable the OPP_IDS ID Document Scanning add-on license.

  2. Turn on the Mobile Document Scanning and Desktop Document Scanning parameters under the Profile group in OPERA Controls.

  3. Assign the required User Tasks for document scanning.

  4. Add and set up the third-party scanner for the property.

  5. Scan the guest’s ID during reservation check-in or when updating the guest’s profile.
