B5000 Document Authenticator

The smart way to automatically validate the authenticity of identity documents – reliably and quickly.


Whether you’re securing borders, checking in passengers or managing visitors, you need a reliable and quick method for validating the authenticity of documents provided as proof of identity. The B5000-SC is a combined hardware and software product that automatically authenticates a wide range of documents, including passports, visas, immigration cards, driver’s licenses and military ID cards. Using a patented process of scanning, image processing and data analysis, the B5000-SC enables you to perform security checks in just seconds – accurately and automatically.

  • Overcomes human limitations in validating documents: Decreases errors caused by human limitations such as fatigue, collusion and even extortion. And the system’s simplicity and high degree of automation means minimal training is required.
  • Accelerates document processing: Combines a unique set of applications for a layered approach to security including matching document profile databases, demographic and biometric watch lists, smart chip data extraction and finger and face matching against centralized databases – all in a matter of seconds.
  • Provides highest level of document validation through multiple security checks: Data sets checked include MRZ (machine-readable zone) checksum and expiration date, presence of B900 ink, capturing and analyzing information contained in travel and identity documents, formatting consistency for confirming authenticity, cross-checking information across multiple documents in a set, and cross-checking information contained in smart chips against documents.
