International Travelers

Authenticating the identity of travelers who want to cross international borders is a vital means of strengthening security in the age of terror. In coming years, a majority of nations worldwide will require their own citizens and foreign visitors to present biometrically-enabled border-crossing documents, meaning passports or visas or both, upon entry and exit. In the U.S., the US-VISIT program began capturing the biometrics of foreign visitors in early 2005. US-VISIT has succeeded in identifying and deterring potential terrorists and led to the capture of criminals sought by law enforcement agencies.
