ID documents

Issuing biometric ID documents requires new methods for capturing, processing, and storing biometric data. Data quality is the most challenging requirement biometric passports must meet. In particular, all biometric passports must meet specific data quality guidelines and standards defined by both ICAO and ISO, the governing bodies for traveling documents, to ensure inter-operability so that they can be authenticated and read by border control agents worldwide.

Issue biometric ID documents

To address the data quality standards, BioID's eCapture provides a simple 5-step procedure for reliable ICAO-compliant biometric enrollment for biometric passports, which can be also used for other documents where quality biometric data capture is necessary.

1. Capture of personal data and authentication of previously existing documents
2. Digitization of signature (optional) for later reuse or verification
3. Biometric enrollment: enrollment of the face, and if needed also fingerprint or iris pattern
4. Automatic data verification and processing immediately after capture of the raw data, in order to ensure the quality of the captured sample is sufficient for future comparisons
5. Storage of the captured data onto the document or chip
