Following the renewal of an existing contract, IDEMIA will deliver INTERPOL's new identification system that will usher in enhanced capabilities such as higher matching accuracy and more user-friendly interfaces.

This latest alliance further strengthens IDEMIA's 20-year relationship with INTERPOL. Collaboration began in 2000 when IDEMIA delivered the first Automated Fingerprint Identification System.

Building on fingerprint capability, in 2016 INTERPOL called on IDEMIA to make facial recognition available to its members.

"INTERPOL's enhanced partnership with IDEMIA will further help our member countries better protect their borders and their citizens," said Cyril Gout, INTERPOL Director of Operational Support and Analysis.

"Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for the Public Security & Identity Business Unit at IDEMIA said,"I would like to warmly thank INTERPOL for placing their trust in our expertise.

"Innovation has underpinned our work for INTERPOL from the very outset. We worked closely together to capture the specific requirements of the INTERPOL teams so as to enhance our solutions in line with making us biometric security provider number one."
