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

Create government compliant IP photos

To cope with increased terrorist activities and international crime as well as increasing volumes of international travel, countries around the world have introduced biometric passports and other biometric ID documents. One of the key features of biometric ID documents is the inclusion of the digital photo image as mandatory biometric information. Because this biometric information will be used to authenticate the identity of the passport bearer, the requirements of the digital image are extremely strict, sometimes down to the pixel: an accuracy beyond the judgement of the human eye.

Pic4Pass is an online ID photo service that provides guaranteed government compliance based on sophisticated biometrics. Compliance is based on the standards for biometric passports set forth by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), a member of the United Nations family, and adopted by 91 countries around the world with the number growing each year.
