Check-in only
A clean, self-service station for digital check-in without a printed badge.
- Current-generation iPad
- Exact-fit counter, wall, or floor stand
- Continuous power and reliable Wi-Fi
Current approach
Purchase compatible hardware separately
Customers currently purchase and own compatible hardware separately. Use this guide to assemble the setup, then let ArrivSure review your iPad, stand, optional license-positioning aid, printer, connection method, and badge stock as one complete system before you order.
Planned
ArrivSure-supplied kits
Optional ArrivSure hardware kits are planned but are not currently available for purchase. Contents, timing, pricing, shipping, and support terms have not been finalized.
Important purchasing information: ArrivSure does not currently sell, fulfill, or warrant the third-party products linked on this page. ArrivSure supports its software and documented setup; manufacturers and retailers handle orders, pricing, availability, shipping, returns, repairs, and hardware warranties. Manufacturer links are provided for convenience and do not imply a partnership or manufacturer certification.
Start with the workflow
Choose the shape of your station first
The simplest way to avoid a mismatched purchase is to decide whether you need digital check-in only, printed badges, or a more secured installation.
Check-in + badges
The most common lobby setup when staff want an immediately visible visitor badge.
- Everything in check-in only
- Brother QL-820NWB or QL-820NWBc
- Badge roll matched to the approved template
Secured or floor kiosk
A more permanent station for open lobbies, higher traffic, or limited counter space.
- Lockable, model-specific enclosure
- Concealed or protected charging cable
- Optional printer mount with exact-model fit
Step 1 · iPad
Current-generation iPads meet the app requirement
ArrivSure Kiosk requires iPadOS 26.0 or later. For a new station, the current base-model Wi-Fi iPad is the most straightforward choice; the exact enclosure still needs to match the device. Both orientations are supported, with landscape as the preferred starting point for most installations.
Current models that meet the published OS requirement
These are Apple's current iPad families as of the review date. Meeting the OS requirement does not mean every stand, printer, and network combination has been tested together.
iPad (A16)11-inch
Straightforward default for most new kiosks
iPad mini (A17 Pro)8.3-inch
Compact option; use a model-specific enclosure
iPad Air (M4)11-inch or 13-inch
Use the enclosure made for the exact size
iPad Pro (M5)11-inch or 13-inch
Use the enclosure made for the exact size
- Confirm the device can install the current required iPadOS version.
- Match the stand to the exact iPad name, generation, and size.
- Plan for landscape (horizontal) by default; use portrait when the installed space or workflow calls for it.
- Keep the front and rear cameras available for the configured workflow.
- Plan reliable Wi-Fi and continuous charging at the kiosk location.
Step 2 · Stand
Bosstab options for countertop, wall, and floor deployments
Bosstab's model-specific Elite line covers lockable countertop, wall, and floor installations, while its Touch line offers a minimalist adhesive-mounted path. The other manufacturer options may fit different mounting or printer needs. Every choice is still a physical-fit decision—not a claim that each variant is certified or tested by ArrivSure.
Bosstab · Lockable countertop
Elite Evo
A lockable enclosure with internal cable management for a secured counter kiosk. Bosstab's separate license-positioning bundle is available for the Elite family.
View Elite Evo at Bosstab (opens in a new tab)Bosstab · Minimal countertop
Touch Evo
A clean, case-free stand with fixed or adjustable and freestanding or screw-mount choices. Best suited to supervised counters where a lockable enclosure is not required.
View Touch Evo at Bosstab (opens in a new tab)Bosstab · Floor-standing + optional printer bracket
Elite Evo Floor Stand & Accessories Bundle
A lockable floor kiosk with internal cable routing and configurable accessory brackets. The Brother printer and license-positioning bundle are separate purchases.

Elite Evo Wall Mount
A key-lockable enclosure with internal cable routing for sites that prefer a fixed wall installation over counter or floor space.

Portrait Stand · H759X-BG
A polished portrait-only alternative with access to the camera, charging port, buttons, speakers, and microphones. Use it when the installation intentionally calls for portrait rather than the preferred landscape setup.

Original Counter · model-specific enclosure
A lockable, weighted counter stand that can be configured in landscape or portrait with concealed power routing.

Original Floorstanding + Brother Printer Mount
A lockable floor stand with a weighted base, cable routing, and a manufacturer-specified Brother printer mount. The QL-810W listing describes physical mount fit only, not an ArrivSure printer recommendation.

Model-specific iPad stand range
Use this broader catalog when a wall mount, floor stand, or different security profile fits the site better.
View Model-specific iPad stand range at Compulocks (opens in a new tab)Before ordering a stand: choose the installed orientation—landscape is preferred when possible—then use the manufacturer's model selector, preserve access to any camera your workflow needs, confirm how power reaches the iPad, and decide whether the base must be fixed, weighted, tethered, or lockable. Software support for both orientations does not guarantee that every enclosure or accessory works in both. A license holder is not universal: the Bosstab option below requires a matching Elite tablet holder, and the selected bundle supplies its model-specific camera cutout.
Optional add-on · License positioning
Give visitors a consistent place to position a license
ArrivSure uses the iPad's rear camera for optional front-and-back image capture and available PDF417/AAMVA barcode fields. A model-specific holder can make placement easier and more repeatable; it does not add a separate scanner or identity-verification system.
Bosstab · Elite-family positioning bundle
Elite ID Holder & Camera Cutout Bundle
A rear-mounted metal holder positions a license in view of the iPad's rear camera for more repeatable placement. It is a physical alignment aid, not an electronic reader.
View Elite ID Holder & Camera Cutout Bundle at Bosstab (opens in a new tab)Confirm the complete setup first: Bosstab's published model details vary across its accessory pages, so confirm the exact Elite tablet holder, bundle variant, iPad, installed orientation, and accessory SKU with Bosstab and ArrivSure. For a rotating stand, lock it in the validated position during capture. Then test front-and-back capture, barcode extraction, card stability, camera framing, focus and glare, immediate card return, reachable one-handed use, clear instructions, adequate retry time, and a staff-assisted alternative before rollout.
Sensitive-data checkpoint
Enable license capture only for a defined need. Before rollout, confirm the visitor-facing notice and any required consent, who can access the data, retention and deletion settings, session clearing between visitors, and a no-capture or manual path where policy allows. Review the Privacy Policy and Trust Center with your own legal and compliance requirements.
Steps 3 & 4 · Badge printing
Use an exact printer model and an approved roll
The printer's physical capabilities, the ArrivSure connection method, and the badge-template fit are separate checks. Do not treat “Brother QL” as universal compatibility.
Brother · Recommended badge printer
QL-820NWBc
Direct-thermal label printer with no ink or toner. Manufacturer availability and pricing can change.
View QL-820NWBc at Brother (opens in a new tab)Brother · Recommended badge printer
QL-820NWB
Also recommended where available. Do not assume every Brother QL model follows the same connection path.

Match the roll to the badge design
Badge dimensions change how names, photos, host details, timestamps, and QR codes fit. Confirm the selected template before ordering rolls in volume.
Brother · Badge stock
DK-1234
Purpose-built die-cut name-badge stock and the simplest place to begin for a standard visitor badge.

Hardware FAQ
Answers before you order
Can we use an iPad we already own?
Possibly. The ArrivSure Kiosk app currently requires iPadOS 26.0 or later. We will also confirm the exact iPad model, camera access, stand fit, power, and intended workflow before you rely on an existing device.
Does the kiosk have to be landscape?
ArrivSure supports landscape and portrait. For most new kiosk setups, start with landscape when the stand, camera access, available space, and any accessories allow it. Portrait remains supported when it better fits the counter, wall, or floor placement. Choose and test the installed orientation before ordering or mounting the stand and accessories.
Does ArrivSure sell hardware today?
Customers currently purchase and own compatible hardware separately. Optional ArrivSure hardware kits are planned but are not currently available for purchase. No timing, contents, or pricing have been finalized.
Will any Brother QL printer work?
Do not assume that every Brother QL model is compatible. ArrivSure currently recommends the QL-820NWB and QL-820NWBc after the exact connection method and badge setup are confirmed.
Which badge roll should we order?
It depends on the approved badge design. Badge size affects text, photo, QR-code placement, and cutting behavior. ArrivSure will confirm the roll for your selected template before you order in volume.
Are the linked stands certified by ArrivSure?
No certification or manufacturer partnership is implied. They are practical options to consider based on manufacturer-stated fit. Confirm the exact enclosure variant and iPad model before purchasing.
Do we need a separate driver's-license scanner?
No separate electronic reader is required for ArrivSure's current iPad-camera workflow. A configured check-in can capture the front and back of a supported U.S. or Canadian driver's license and extract available PDF417/AAMVA barcode fields for authorized staff review. A physical holder can make placement more repeatable, but it does not authenticate the license, verify identity, perform age verification, or make an entry decision.
Can the Bosstab license holder attach to any stand?
No. The Elite ID Holder & Camera Cutout Bundle belongs to Bosstab's Elite family and must match the exact Elite tablet holder and iPad; the selected bundle includes the model-specific rear-camera cutout. It is not an add-on for the Bosstab Touch line or other manufacturers' stands. Confirm the entire stand, tablet holder, bundle variant, iPad, and orientation before ordering.
