IDEMIA, who we caught up with at Identity Week America in October, has been working with their border and customs clients across a number of U.S. airports to identify passengers in their global entry programme, as they make journeys to return to domestic soil. One of these partners is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), who have deployed on mass scale face comparison advanced technology to enable efficient and safety boarding processes.
Donnie Scott, who presents IDEMIA’s achievements here as Chief Executive Officer, says 2023 has been the year of seeing Mobile Driver Licenses come to fruition across state and supplier collaboration to issue new travel IDs for more citizens. The mDL is being adopted at pace as another form of ID to hold as a driver and frequent traveller across the world, and we will see an exciting revolution of mDLs over the next few years as a REAL ID application for wallets.
Mobile driving licences are accepted at TSA checkpoints and play a common role in ensuring identification.
TSA and IDEMIA are excited about the expansion of their LASINK solution family as well – a solution for identification cards that allows the colour print of polycarbonate cards.
The first set of IDEMIA customers are at an early stage of rolling out this technology.
