U.S. Passport Card Frequently Asked Questions
The Department of State has developed a Passport Card as a more portable and less expensive alternative to the traditional passport book. The passport card is a basic component of the PASS (People Access Security Service) system announced by Secretaries Rice and Chertoff in January 2006, and will meet the specific requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) to secure and expedite travel.

Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDL)- Fact Sheet
DHS is pursuing development of alternative documents to meet Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) implementation requirements at land and sea ports of entry.

REAL ID is a nationwide effort to improve the integrity and security of State-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards, which in turn will help fight terrorism and reduce fraud.

What is the UK National Identity Scheme?
The National Identity Scheme is an easy-to-use and extremely secure system of personal identification for adults living in the UK. Its cornerstone is the introduction of national ID cards for all UK residents over the age of 16.

TSA GUIDANCE PACKAGE: Biometrics for Airport Access Control
This guidance package addresses biometrics for airport access control. Access control addresses the examination of one or more of three factors regarding an individual's identity: something they know, something they have, or something they are.

Case Study: Iris Recognition Enhances Security, Accelerates Traffic, and Reduces Costs at Border Crossing

"The ability of LG's IrisAccess® to definitively authenticate visa holders and allow them to enter the country as often as necessary is one thing. Accomplishing this with time savings of over 2400 percent, while reducing the manpower needed to achieve this productivity increase, was way beyond our expectations."
