The problem we solve
Manual admissibility is costing you millions and breaking the passenger experience
Your passengers already live in a world of digital wallets and biometric experiences. Your operations and risk controls are still tied to manual passport checks and siloed systems.
Our solution
From document checks to digital journeys in three moves
Facephi delivers an end‑to‑end identity and agentic commerce layer for travel: from remote passenger enrolment and admissibility automation to biometric, verifiable‑credential‑based journeys and agent‑to‑agent transactions.
Ready to Travel
What it is
Remote identity verification (IDV) to capture and validate passport/document data with OCR and NFC, issuing an ICAO DTC Type 1 as a foundation for digital travel credentials.
What it does
Automates passenger eligibility checks before arrival, reducing INADs, fines and manual document inspection at counters and gates.
-
Remote document capture + selfie match with passive liveness.
-
DTC Type 1 issuance, ready for verifiable credentials and wallets.
-
Interoperability with border-control standards including EES, ETIAS and ETA, enabling passenger pre-screening before arrival and boarding.
Seamless Travel
What it is
A contactless, interoperable passenger journey orchestrated through digital credentials and biometric authentication at bag drop, security, immigration, VIP lounges and boarding.
What it does
Eliminates repetitive ID checks and physical document handling, while complying with 1:1 or 1:N authentication models depending on local regulation.
-
Biometric on the move: walk‑through gates, lounge access and queue management using face biometrics and tap‑and‑go.
-
Flexible authentication that adapts to your verification needs, from individual identity checks to large-scale matching, combining biometrics and verifiable credentials to meet SCA requirements.
-
Interoperable with industry standards adopted at eGates.
Agentic Identity & Commerce
What it is
An identity wallet that handles identity verification, consent, eligibility and payment in a single automated transaction, without human intervention between agents.
What it does
Enables truly seamless, AI‑driven journeys where passenger wallets and operator agents negotiate access, services and payments in the background.
-
Verifiable credentials + biometrics for fraud‑resistant payments and ancillaries.
-
Ready for Apple/Google Digital Credential API, mDL/mDOC and organisational wallets for crew and staff.

FAQ (compliance & integration)
We align with EDPB guidance on biometric deployments at airports, supporting privacy‑preserving architectures such as passenger‑held templates (1:1) and short‑lived, minimised storage, while ensuring strong authentication and consent orchestration.
Yes. Our platform is designed to interoperate with major DCS and GHS providers (SITA, Amadeus, Collins, etc.) and with biometric hardware/eGates vendors, acting as a verification and credential layer rather than replacing core operational systems.
We support multiple models: standalone wallets, SDKs in your own app, and integration with native wallets like Apple/Google via Digital Credential API, so you can choose the best approach for your CX and regulatory context.
