Format identification
Not sure what you're running? Send a photo, your reader brand, or the numbers on a card. We identify the exact format — including obscure and legacy ones — before you order anything.
How identification worksServices
More than cards — the whole credential workflow
We don't just ship blank stock. American Key Cards identifies your format, encodes every credential to your facility code, prints and numbers to match your existing badges, and keeps your spec on file for effortless reorders.
Encoding to your facility code
Every card and fob is encoded to your facility code and card-number range, so credentials work the moment they arrive — no reprogramming, no reader changes.
