Passengers at Dubai International Airport can pass passport control in
seconds. Passengers can cross the gates smoothly and there will be no
need to stand in queues to get the passport stamped. The smart gates
ensure that each traveller will only spend seven to 10 seconds to pass
through.
Equipped with the latest face-recognition software, the smart gates do
away with the passengers’ personal encounters with passport control
officers, clearing travellers with approved biometric, electronic
passports or identification to walk straight to the baggage claim area
after deplaning.
The ‘biometric border’ walkway takes a scan of people’s faces as they
enter the airport and checks it against a digital passport using the
face-recognition software.
“Travellers can walk through the smart gates by using their biometric
passports, Emirates ID and smartphone after installing the UAE Wallet
application.
The digital passport, created for the system, contains information
from the electronic chip in physical passports, as well as additional
details including fingerprints, iris scans and face-recognition data.
To pass through the gates, a passenger needs to scan his passport at
the gate and look at the camera to scan his/her face.

03/06/2018)
