Then type the name on the ID. 4. **Get a signature**: The customer signs on the tech's phone. 5. **It's saved on the job**: With the time, the tech who checked it and the location, so the record is there if anyone asks later. ## What you control All of it is set in the app, most of it by the shop owner or an admin. - Require ID check before completing: In Shop details, for solo and dispatch shops. When it's on, a tech has to record ID and proof of ownership before the job can be marked complete. It's off by default. - Location on the record: “Attach my location” is on by default. The tech can switch it off for a single check. - Job photos: Add before and after photos, with captions, to any job. ## Honest limits Worth knowing before you set it up, so nothing surprises you on a job.

[Proof of ownership on a lockout](https://lockcommand.com//blog/proof-of-ownership-lockout) - LockCommand keeps what the tech records. It doesn't read or verify IDs, and it can't tell a fake from a real one. - When the ID rule is on, it covers every job type, not only lockouts. - Each check needs at least an ID photo, a proof photo or the name on the ID. - In the app, ID photos open for owners, admins, dispatchers and the tech on the job. Other techs and accountants see that the ID was checked. Members of a shop share its records, so invite only people you trust. - Whether to open the door is always your call. Rules on proof and record keeping differ by state, so check yours. ## ID & proof questions ### What counts as proof of ownership in LockCommand? The tech records the document type (driver's license, state ID, passport, vehicle registration, lease, utility bill or other), a photo of the ID, a photo of the proof and the name on the ID. Deciding whether it's enough is up to the tech and your shop's rules. ### Does LockCommand check that an ID is real? No. It records what the tech sees and photographs, with the time and place. It doesn't scan or validate IDs. ### Can I make ID checks mandatory? Yes, on any plan. Turn on “Require ID check before completing” in Shop details. When it's on, a tech has to record ID and proof of ownership before the job can be marked complete. ### Who can see the ID photos? In the app, owners, admins, dispatchers and the tech assigned to the job can open them. Other techs and accountants see that the ID was checked. The photos stay in your shop's account instead of on someone's camera roll. Invite only people you trust to your shop. ### What if the customer's ID is locked inside? Open the door, then do the check before you leave. The record shows when it was done. ## Keep reading - [Security & privacy How customer data, IDs, recordings and payments are handled, who can see them and how to delete them.](https://lockcommand.com//security-and-privacy) - [Dispatch A live map of techs and jobs, the closest tech by real drive time, and manual or AI dispatch with timed offers.](https://lockcommand.com//features/dispatch) - [After-hours calls How to answer, price and route night and weekend lockout calls without being on the phone all night.](https://lockcommand.com//after-hours-locksmith-calls) - [Blog Practical guides for running a locksmith business: calls, pricing, proof of ownership and getting paid.](https://lockcommand.com//blog) - [Dispatch shops How a shop with dispatchers and techs runs calls, dispatch, roles and books in one place.](https://lockcommand.com//for/dispatch-shops) ## Let the AI pick up.
