Biometric screening for law-enforcement and government agencies

Criminal background checks

Biometric background checks are essential for government agencies tasked with protecting the public. Traditional name-based screening can misidentify individuals, delaying investigations and exposing organizations to risk. IDEMIA Public Security’s biometric solution links each person to a verified criminal history by matching unique physical traits—fingerprints, facial features, and other identifiers—so you get fast, accurate results every time.

When is it used?

  • Pre-employment screening: Confirm candidates meet safety and policy standards before hiring.
  • Law enforcement investigations: Reliably identify suspects, witnesses and detainees.
  • Immigration and border control: Ensure entrants do not pose security risks.
  • Volunteer and foster-care programs: Protect vulnerable populations by vetting applicants.
  • Licensing and certification: Satisfy regulatory requirements in finance, healthcare, education, and more.
