Robust solutions that provide easy access for citizens and protect against identity theft.

Biometrics Bring Big Benefits

Fraud is an ever-present problem for the distribution of government benefits, leading to significant financial losses. Many states are now turning to biometrics for identity verification and authentication to minimize losses from identity theft and fraud.

Biometrics deliver the strongest identity assurance available by utilizing face or fingerprints — authenticators that cannot be lost or stolen. Biometrics provide a rapid, secure and user friendly way to get the right government benefits to the right people at the right time.
