FR Entry - Biometric Visa Program Transition to Ten Fingerscans
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Notices
DEPARTMENT OF STATE [Public Notice 5778] Biometric Visa Program Transition to Ten Fingerscans AGENCY: State Department. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This public notice announces the change in the standard for fingerscans of the Biometric Visa Program from two fingerscans to ten fingerscans. The establishment of the Biometric Visa Program was announced to the public in December 2004 as a response to the requirements established by the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002. When the program began, available technology only allowed for efficient capture and comparisons of two fingerscans. Now, improvements in technology allow the Program to incorporate a ten fingerscan standard. Why is the Department planning to take ten fingerscans from visa applicants? The Biometric Visa Program works closely with the US–VISIT Program of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Both programs currently require aliens to submit two fingerscans as part of their respective application procedures. In consultation with DHS and the Department of Justice, the Department is instituting the ten fingerscan standard to improve our ability to detect and thwart persons ineligible for visas by raising the accuracy rate in matching fingerscans.
