Key Facts

  • The company reported first place across all mugshot identification scenarios tested.
  • Evaluation included a gallery of 12 million identities.
  • IDEMIA cited a reduction of more than 40 percent in visa identification errors against its 2025 submission, and first place in the visa border scenario.

Card Text

Mugshot identification and visa border tracks test different image conditions, so leading positions in one do not transfer to the other. Year-over-year error reduction against a vendor's own prior submission is the comparison least affected by changes in the evaluation protocol.
