The New Standard for Visitor Security in Dubai
In a fast-paced and security-conscious city like Dubai, manual visitor logs are slow, error-prone, and create significant security risks. An Emirates ID scanner for offices is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. TimeChart automates identity verification, ensuring every guest who enters your premises is accurately and securely logged in seconds, enhancing both security and the visitor experience.
How Real-Time ID Scanning Works
Our process is designed to be incredibly simple for your visitors and powerfully secure for your business, transforming your reception into a hub of efficiency.
1. Scan the ID
The visitor simply places their Emirates ID or Passport page on our high-speed scanner at your reception kiosk. The device instantly captures the data.
2. Auto-Fill Details
Our smart OCR technology instantly reads and accurately populates all required fields—name, ID number, and more—eliminating manual typing and errors.
3. Verified & Logged
The visitor is securely checked in, their host is notified instantly, and a compliant, encrypted digital record of the visit is created for your records.
In-Depth Benefits of Automated Identity Verification
Fortify Your Facility's Security
Confirming the identity of every guest is your first line of defense. Our real-time ID verification in Dubai ensures that the person checking in is who they claim to be, drastically reducing the risk of unauthorized access. It allows you to screen visitors against internal watchlists and creates a reliable, digital audit trail for every person who enters, protecting your staff, data, and property.
Boost Front-Desk Efficiency
Reduce visitor check-in times from minutes to mere seconds. By automating the data entry process, our passport scanning visitor management system eliminates reception queues and frees your front-desk staff from tedious manual work. They can now focus on higher-value tasks, like providing a warm, personal welcome to your guests.
Ensure Full Legal & Data Compliance
Messy, handwritten logbooks are a compliance nightmare. Our system creates accurate, legible, and tamper-proof digital records for every visitor. This ensures you can effortlessly meet the stringent data security and privacy standards required in the UAE. All data is encrypted and stored securely, giving you peace of mind during audits.
