Abstract
A computer-implemented method for border control is described. The method involves interaction between a user computing device and a management server. The following actions are performed at the user computing device. A registration process is performed that involving captures user information and a stored biometric of the user from a user travel document. A first fresh user biometric is also captured at the user computing device for verification to register the user at the management server. At least one check step is then performed during passage through a border control area, this check step comprising capturing a second fresh user biometric for verification and generation of a time limited code for completing the check step. Suitable apparatus to implement this method is also described.
