We support border and immigration agencies making high-volume identity decisions, from frontline document inspection through to back-end forensic examination.

Border and immigration agencies are responsible for making rapid, high-confidence identity decisions that determine who can enter, remain in, or transit through a country. These environments must manage increasing volumes of travellers while responding to more sophisticated forms of document fraud, identity manipulation and biometric spoofing. In this context, the ability to accurately examine documents, verify identity and apply consistent operational procedures is critical to maintaining both security and efficiency.

IOM needed document examination practitioners across multiple countries working to a consistent methodology. ForenSys revised the DELMIE laboratory manual covering examination technique, equipment and quality management, then delivered a three-day practitioner workshop in Tanzania.
