Indonesia launches biometric verification for border control
The Directorate General of Immigration at the Department of Law and Human Rights in Indonesia has announced the rollout by SITA of a border control system that includes biometrics capture at 27 of the nation's air and sea ports.
Erwin Azis, the department's Director of Immigration Information Systems, said: "This new primary line clearance system from SITA significantly raises the level of security at Indonesia's international borders. The use of biometrics adds an extra element to the identification and verification of arrivals. We can now be confident that people match passports."
