Multi-Biometric Identification System



The AFIS of the future has arrived.


Just as civil identification programs are changing, so are the backend systems that support them. The new multi-biometric ABIS® System from L-1 Identity Solutions offers a new paradigm for civil agencies that are looking for flexibility, low risk and a single platform to meet all their biometric needs.

Our civil ABIS solutions allow you to establish a secure, reliable and convenient way of positively identifying your citizens, temporary residents and visitors. The ABIS® System is the platform for fraud prevention and issuance of secure documents like national/voter’s IDs, entitlement cards, driver’s licenses and passports, providing a scalable foundation for storing and matching biometric data – whether finger, face or iris.

Our COTS hardware and standards-based philosophy mean lower risk and lower costs, allowing agencies to handle workflow changes using in-house technical resources, expanding capacity as agency needs grow, and linking to existing databases and applications like mobile ID.
