The Self‑Service Terminal is a hardware‑based solution designed for use in authorities and regulated environments to enable applicants to independently capture personal and biometric data. It supports the application process for official identity documents by guiding users through structured data entry, including photographs, fingerprints, and signatures. The system ensures that captured data meets defined quality and security requirements and transfers it directly into authority networks without media discontinuity. The solution reduces manual workload for staff while maintaining high security and data protection standards.
