Scan QR codes and barcodes and verify the digital seals on official documents
Scan and create every common 1D and 2D barcode and export your history as CSV. Unlike an ordinary scanner, Code Scan also verifies the cryptographic seals on official documents.
WHAT IT READS
• QR, MicroQR and rMQR (rectangular MicroQR)
• DataMatrix, including DMRE
• Aztec, PDF417, MicroPDF417, MaxiCode
• EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E
• Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar, ITF / ITF-14
• GS1 DataBar and DataBar Expanded
• VDS, VDS-NC and IDB document seals
Codes are decoded on your device: from the live camera or from a photo you pick.
DIGITAL SEALS ON OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
This is what sets Code Scan apart: it does not just read the seal, it checks the cryptographic signature.
• VDS (Visible Digital Seal, BSI TR-03137) in DataMatrix
• VDS-NC (ICAO) and IDB (ICAO Datastructure for Barcode) in QR codes
• Signatures verified against X.509 certificates, kept up to date automatically
• Import your own X.509 certificates for closed ecosystems
• MRZ data contained in a seal is parsed and shown in readable form
• Compare a face with the face picture or the face landmarks of a seal
This app supports reading and verification of (among others) VDS profiles:
- Social Insurance Card
- Residence Permit Document
- ICAO Visa Document
- ICAO Emergency Travel Document
- German Arrival Attestation Document
- Address Sticker for German Identity Card
- Place of Residence Sticker for German Passports
VDS-NC profiles:
- ICAO PoT and PoV (ISO/IEC JTC1 SC17 WG3/TF5)
CREATE YOUR OWN CODES
• QR, DataMatrix, Aztec, PDF417 and Code 128
• Live preview while you type
• Choose the QR error correction level (L / M / Q / H) or the PDF417 level (0 to 8)
• Share any code as an image
FASTER IN EVERYDAY USE
• Camera light, with brightness steps on devices that support them
• Zoom up to 8x, also by pinching, for tiny print and laminated documents
• Tap to focus
• Open links, phone numbers and mail addresses of scanned codes
• Recreate a scanned code in a single tap, with the content already filled in
A HISTORY THAT STAYS ORGANIZED
• Grouped into Favorites, Today, This Week and Earlier
• The signature status of every seal at a glance
• Scanning a code again updates the existing entry instead of piling up duplicates
• Export and share your scan history as a CSV file
PRIVACY
Decoding happens entirely on your device, and your history stays there. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking. To verify seals, the app downloads the public signer certificates from our certificate service. The optional face comparison is the one feature that sends an image to a KURZ Digital service, and only when you start it yourself.
