In light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, Veridos, a world-leading provider of integrated identity solutions, offers solutions that support seamless and contactless automated border control. In addition to state-of-the-art automated border control solutions such as kiosk and eGate systems, Veridos is taking part in EU-funded research projects to enable the next generation of on-the-fly identity verification, investigating new biometric modalities.
Passport control is one of the most tiresome processes at airports, costing passengers time and testing their patience. For border control officers, checking identity documents involves a great deal of work. And Covid-19 adds additional stress: nobody wants to wait in long lines – especially with small distances between people – to finally present their passport to a border control officer.
This situation is mitigated by the autonomous identity verification solutions already in place, such as kiosks and eGates. With Veridos’ kiosk solution, the passenger can autonomously start the process of retrieving the data stored in the identity document’s chip. While the data is compared to databases, incoming travelers can already answer key questions about their stay. Thus, the actual time at the manual border control station is greatly reduced, and lines can be avoided.
