Benefits for Travelers
The many advantages of this system include :
- Speed : The new kiosks will enable us to handle more passengers in less time.
- Safety : Biometric verification reduces the risk of forged documents and identity theft.
- Comfort : Travelers will no longer have to take out their documents several times for various checks.
Impact on administrative formalities
With the abolition of passport stamps, travelers will no longer have a physical record of their entry to and exit from the country. This means that all data will be stored digitally by the authorities concerned, accessible for consultation if required.
Regular travellers will have to get used to these new automated procedures. However, assistance will be available at check-in points to help users adapt to the biometric recognition kiosks.
Preparations by Member States
Member states of the European Union have been encouraged to prepare now for the introduction of this automated system. This includes training security guards, installing the new kiosks and raising traveler awareness of the technology.
Major communication campaigns are planned to inform travelers of the forthcoming changes, at airports, ports and land borders. This transition to all-digital should mark a new era in border management in the European Union.
