Smart Identity Verification Is Modular

Airport environments have broad identity application requirements — from traveler enrollment, document reading and validation to facial recognition, biometric matching and more. Sometimes a single, comprehensive solution is not always the best fit.

HID’s modular approach enables airlines and airport operators to add identity verification capabilities quickly and easily to existing systems without “rip-and-replace” or expensive migrations to a new platform altogether.
