Regulatory issues and regulations like the USA PATRIOT Act and Know Your Customer (KYC) slow down any operation that does not have a streamlined process. Adding the ability to read ID’s has become an integral part of scrap operations. Federal regulations are requiring companies to be able to produce documentation of a customer’s ID along with details of their transaction.

Scrap metal laws in most states require the operator of a scrap metal business to verify the identity of any person delivering or selling scrap metal to the scrap metal business? This function must be done by requesting and examining a photo ID from a valid State or federal driver’s license or other government-issued form of identification bearing a photograph such as a passport.

In addition, any form of ID must be stored for later retrieval should law enforcement or any governmental official ask for this information. The scrap yard operator must comply by having a clear copy and record of each transaction.

At OCR Solutions, we can provide your business a fast and easy way to comply while increasing operational efficiency!
