January 23, 2014

Beginning in June, Latvian citizens will be able to obtain identification documents via a fleet of integrated biometric enrollment stations that will operate within registration facilities and foreign embassies. According to a news release from Vision-Box, providers of the kiosks, the program will improve processes related to the issuance of identity documents.

The new units will be used to capture the citizens' biometric data (face and fingerprint), as well as the signature, in the process of requesting or renewing an identity document, helping the issuing authorities guarantee a top quality enrollment of citizens, the release said. The system will assure compliance to ICAO, NIST and other international standards in biometric data collection.

"This project confirms that, as far as identity management is concerned, one size doesn't fit all," said Miguel Leitmann, Vision-Box's SVP. "For every enrollment scenario there's a solution addressing its specific needs, always providing the same level of quality in securing our clients' Identity Chain of Trust. Vision-Box is proud to understand and overcome our customers' challenges, meet their demands and be the company of reference in this market."
