Highways Validate QR is a dedicated tool for validating Highways England smartcards, letting individuals and authorised staff scan QR-coded Validate smartcards or visitor passes to confirm credentials, competencies and access permissions. The app reads card data, caches verified records for offline review and synchronises check logs with the central Validate for Highways England database when online. Users can quickly view their current competences, while authorised card checkers can perform spot checks, authenticate teams, control site access and record locally delivered inductions or briefings.
⭐ Scan and validate unique QR codes printed on Validate smartcards and visitor passes with a rear-facing autofocus camera.
⭐ Personal card lookup that lets users check their own Validate smartcard to view current competences and status.
⭐ Tools for authorised card checkers to authenticate teams, perform spot checks and manage access for employees and visitors.
⭐ Record locally delivered training such as inductions and briefings directly through the app for instant logging.
⭐ Offline caching of authenticated card data with automatic upload and full synchronisation to the central database when connectivity is restored.
✅ Fast on-site verification that reduces manual checks and speeds up access control and site inductions.
✅ Offline capability ensures previously verified card data remains available without a live connection.
✅ Central synchronisation provides complete audit trails and transaction logging for compliance and reporting.
✅ Designed specifically for the Highways England environment, Highways Validate QR supports both individual users and authorised checkers with practical features for site management.
❎ Initial verification requires an internet connection to confirm records against the central database.
❎ The app requires an Android device with a rear-facing autofocus camera and Android 4.0 or higher.
❎ Not compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and is intended for use within the Highways England system, so it is not suitable for general-purpose card validation.
