The UK Home Office has selected Sagem Sécurité, part of the SARAN Group, to supply the biometric management system for UK visa applicants and the biometric management subsystem for the Biometric Residents Permit project. These systems will be able to track the immigration status for Third Country Nationals, through the production of biometric ID cards.
Sagem Sécurité will provide Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems designed to process more than 5,200 requests per hour for a database of 16 million. The system will serve the UK Home Office and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
