Multi-Gallery ABIS for Accurate Civil and Criminal Identification in Brazil

Brazil’s complex and diverse landscape made it legal for individuals to hold multiple identification documents, with each of its 27 states issuing their own IDs and driver’s licenses. Moreover, each state had its own database, and often with outdated biometric systems, which could be prone to issues such as ID fraud. Maranhão, Espírito Santo, and Piauí were among the states struggling with these challenges.

Results achieved thanks to automated biometric identification system:

• Modernizing State Databases: The states in Brazil now have a unified biometric system that helps prevent fraud, streamlines the issuance of IDs, and improves the speed and accuracy of criminal investigations.
• Deploying Biometric Tools for Civil and Criminal Applications: Multiple biometric modalities such as fingerprints, palmprints, and faces were implemented. ABIS also includes a latent fingerprint editor and case management tools to streamline criminal investigations.
• Beyond Accurate Identification with Multi-Gallery ABIS: The implementation of Innovatrics ABIS has transformed civil and criminal identification processes across multiple states in Brazil.
