Smart QR Tags for Passports, Driver's Licences and Other Documents

But do I really need QR codes for documents? Yes, and there are many reasons you can benefit from using them.

• You lost a document while traveling or abroad. Simply put, losing your passport or any sort of identification document is not an ideal situation for anyone. Museums, beaches, and hotels are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to places you can misplace or forget these things. You can lose your documents in a plethora of places, but by using our QR tag, you can avoid unnecessary hassle and have an easy way to speak to the finder and retrieve your stuff ASAP.
• You forgot your documents while shopping or passing through a shopping center. Even when you’re in your home country, you can still lose documents if you’re not being careful. For example, you might be out shopping with friends, only to realize once you’re home that you left your bag or wallet on a store counter. If you have secured your belongings with a QR code, though, you can rest easy knowing that staff members will likely scan to contact you so you can retrieve your belongings quickly.
• You left documents behind in border control, airports, or public transport areas. Similar to other travel situations, it’s easy to lose important documents while in a hurry, such as in border check areas, lines for validating tickets (which you can also put QR tags on), etc. If you lose something in one of these places, the border staff or train staff, for example, can promptly contact you via the abTag chat.
• You lost something at a large gathering, protest, or other event. Maybe you’re an active citizen and participate in political functions, or perhaps you simply like to go to concerts. In any case, when taking your identification documents with you, it’s important to use an abTag code. When crowds are involved, especially in a small area, it’s entirely possible that your passport could fall out of your bag and get lost in the commotion.
  All of the above also apply to losing an important document while partying, clubbing, and attending other social events. According to statistics, every 5th passport/ID is lost in these exact situations.
• You misplaced a document while studying at university/college. A smart QR code could also come in handy for students, for obvious reasons. To check whether you are an intruder or an actual student, educational institutions often have checkpoints at entrances. If you accidentally forget where you left your student ID, for example, the abTag will help you retrieve it in no time!
• You lost a document while on a school trip or at a sports tournament. When participating in group events, especially international events, it’s crucial to ensure that the team or the school students don’t lose their personally identifying documents. This makes sense when traveling in packs, crossing borders, and generally having a big party while traveling (applies to family travel, too). This obviously makes group management easier, but can also be used on a personal level by different members of a team or group.
• Elderly family members and memory-impaired individuals have misplaced important documents. QR codes for documents are a simple yet useful solution when caring for a loved one or any sort of family member. When caring for elderly people or people suffering from memory loss, in particular, abTags give you a way to identify any person by their documents and contact them/their family members. This can help ensure their safety .
  Imagine your grandma or mother left their home to make basic purchases but later realized they forgot their wallet or some sort of identifying document. A finder could help both you and your family member find the lost object so you don’t have to waste time finding it yourself.
  For relatives with more serious problems like memory-loss, early-stage dementia, and so on, QR codes are especially useful. Often, people dealing with memory loss wander off from their residences, get lost, and don’t even realize what’s happening. If they have an ID/Passport with them with the QR tag applied to it, however,, they can be helped by a stranger and safely make their way back into your care.
