Biometrics Overview
Biometric technology is making its way into every aspect of daily life, from airport customs through to finger print scanners on smart phones. Biometrics is the measurement of biological features, for ID Photos, these measurements are of your facial positioning and structure.
Passport Photo
You must provide two recent identical colour photographs of yourself with your completed passport application. As many passports are now electronic and utilise the “e-gate” at the airport, it’s essential that your photo can be read by these devices. By getting a biometric passport photo with compliance certificate, you’re in the best position to have a compatible photo for an e-passport.
Compliance Certificate
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have set standards for photographs to be included in machine-readable travel documents such as passports. These standards are loaded into the ID Station and each photo is checked against them. The ID Station allows you to produce a Compliance Certificate which signifies that your ID Photo meets the strict ICAO benchmarks.
ID Station
ID station’s state of the art biometric engine automatically checks photos against ICAO, ISO and local regulation. It spots prohibited criteria such as shadows, hair over eyes, sunglasses, hotspots and many more. ID station prints an ICAO certificate showing all test results, a huge added value to your ID photo service.
