Benefits

Seamless authentication with government-grade digital identity including authenticated biometrics enables digital transformation across the travel ribbon to remove friction, error from manual data entry, and delay from manual security touchpoints — all without airlines and airports having to securely manage their passengers’ personal data.

With an Indicio Digital Passport, travelers can fully consent to share their biographic and biometric information in advance of arrival, enabling pre-authorized travel and seamless border crossing.

Airports can streamline check-in, baggage management, access to lounges, and boarding because passengers can hold and share authenticated biometric and biographic data from a verifiable digital passport. This means reduced congestion and anxiety for travelers, at the same time as Increase airport capacity without increasing resources.

Airlines can know that every traveler has been precleared to board international flights, reducing the risk of fines for inadmissible travelers. Airlines can always and instantly know their customers when they log in to airline websites and use loyalty programs — and customers can be sure they are logging into their airlines.

With a verifiable Digital Passport and authenticated biometrics, border crossing takes seconds…

Often, less than 3 seconds, offering potential improvement of over 80% compared to agent-to-traveler experience, and up to 50% improvement compared to many e-gates*

*Border admission times vary, therefore improvement metrics will vary accordingly.

Easy to implement, can work with any system… … takes just days to implement, a couple of weeks to trial, and when operational it can scale to handle all your needs — with minimal changes needed to your existing infrastructure. Indicio is the global expert in mediation, the key technical process of connecting credential issuance and verification to mobile devices.

Solves the compliance challenges around biometrics and GDPR With Indicio’s Digital Passport, the passenger holds their own biometric data, sharing it with explicit consent.
