Product details
MoveID enables the capture of biometric, ICAO-compliant photographs directly in a local authority setting. The solution is suitable both as an addition to existing stationary systems and as a reliable fall-back option. If required, MoveID can also be used as a standalone solution.
Staff in passport, ID card or immigration authorities can capture photographs in just a few seconds and transfer them directly into their specialist system for applications for official documents, without media discontinuities or manual intermediate steps. A software-assisted biometric check supports users during capture and ensures high quality as well as compliance with standards.
MoveID is provided on centrally managed smartphones. Operation, maintenance and device administration are handled entirely by Bundesdruckerei, meaning the authority incurs no additional IT effort. A rental model with short terms ensures flexible use and planning certainty.
Added value in day-to-day authority operations
Many authorities face the same challenge: Photo capture must work in day-to-day operations quickly, reliably and in line with regulations – regardless of space or staffing constraints, and in special cases such as capturing images of infants or toddlers.
Mobile capture integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and significantly shortens the photo creation process. Direct digital transfer into the specialist system eliminates manual intermediate steps and potential media discontinuities. This reduces sources of error and increases process security in the application procedure.
The mobile approach enables use regardless of the space available and provides additional flexibility in authority operations.
Three-step datra entry process: 1. Scanning QR codes. 2. Take and review a photo. 3. Add directly to the application.
Cost-effectiveness: When does MoveID pay off?
MoveID offers full cost transparency through a flat rental fee of €117.65 net per month with annual billing.
- Amortization: With a fee of €6 per passport photo, the device pays for itself starting at an average of just 24 photos per month
- Economies of scale: Every additional passport photo generates a direct financial surplus for your municipality, as there are no per-photo costs
