The Perfect Guide For Your Biometrics Enrollment Process

When you apply for certain travel documents in certain countries, you will need to submit your biometric details. Through the recently introduced biometrics enrollment process, these details are recorded and stored on a storage that can be accessed remotely through an extensive yet secured network. In this article, we give the benefits and the ideal guide for the enrollment process.

What Is Recorded And Why?

As per the various stages that go into the Biometrics Enrollment Process, your fingerprints, facial features or iris scan will be recorded and stored in storage or network that can be accessed remotely. With the fingerprints, the image of the fingerprint is first analyzed and only the digital representations of the specific points of the fingerprint are stored. This is the same with the iris and facial features. These points are used as a primary template and stored accordingly.

What Are The Advantages Of This Process?

Since almost every person possess the same characteristic or traits the recording, processing and verification of the data is made simple and fast. Also, these traits rarely vary over time or change drastically due to outside elements. Most of these traits are unique to each individual that distinguish individuals from each other but have the same characteristics.

The method that is used to capture these biometric records is acceptable to the population as it does not require any invasive procedure that violates the privacy of the individual. The data is recorded in such a manner that it is not only difficult to manipulate, but also difficult to reproduce to an exact 100 percent.Once this captured data is recorded it can be easily reduced to a digital file which is easy to handled, stored and easily accessed. Thus by this process we can ensure that there is a high reliability and reproducibility by using this form of method.

The following is the steps that are taken for this kind of data collection:

Step 1: Appointment

Before get your data recorded, you will need to take an appointment at the centre. Normally this can be taken a week or a few days previous. Once you keep your appointment, you will be required to scan your fingerprint, facial features or even your iris.

Step 2: Identification

Once the data has been collected, it will be stored in a file which contains all the basic details of your identity and data. During your biometrics enrollment process, the data that has been collected will be stored in a form of a primary template. This template is then used as a form of comparison in the next stage.

Step 3: Verification

In this stage, your biometrics will be scanned and compared to the primary template. The comparison is measured in terms of percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher is the accurate comparison. By this method, the establishment of the accurate identity of the applicant is preserved.
