National Defense & Domestic Security

Border Control

Effective border control is your first line of defense against international terrorism. To achieve it, you need identity verification and fraud detection, as well as the ability to detect imposters and people on watchlists. All while complying with international standards and security requirements for passport and visa issuance systems.
 
Unisys solutions for border control can deal with the complexities of issuing and verifying passports, visa and other travel documents. They help you balance the need to maintain service levels without compromising security and citizen trust. And they help you remain compliant with laws and regulations designed to improve domestic security.

The Unisys Border Control Solution helps
you meet credentialing requirements for:

• Passports, including ePassports
• Visas, including eVisas
• Border Crossing cards
• Registered and trusted travelers

Using integrated systems, our Border Control Solution supports citizen and visitor enrollment requirements for passports, visas and other travel documents.

Enrollment and Registration

Unisys Border Control solution supports citizen and visitor enrollment, including application processing, biometrics capture and identity verification. The solution verifies the completeness of the application. It ensures that the required supporting documents are present. And it tracks and processes payment. Biometric technologies like facial recognition and fingerprint matching link applicants to their application documents. Administrators can also search applications to ensure that an applicant hasn’t already applied using another identity.

Document Issuance and Re-Issuance

To stop fraud, our Border Control solution allows agents to automatically verify new data against existing biometric data. It ensures the same person is replacing a lost or stolen passport. Real-time interfaces with external birth, death and citizenship databases help break the cycle of applicants presenting false paper documents. It also offers sophisticated name matching routines to transform your fraud detection capabilities.

Entry/Exit Procedures

Entry/exit processing uses chip-card technology and biometrics, as well as real-time database checks.

A typical Border Control Entry/Exit verification procedure includes:

• A travel document’s data page is scanned and its embedded chip is read—either via a self-service kiosk or by an agent.
• The reader checks the travel document for authenticity and looks for a variety of security features, including infrared and ultraviolet verification.
• A facial scan is performed and matched against the information in the embedded chip to verify identity.
• The travel document is checked against a database of lost or stolen passports, and the biometric information is checked against watchlist databases.

The result is improved government border security through the identification of overstays and apprehension of known criminals. And more efficient processing of citizens and travelers, reducing cost and increasing satisfaction.
