Case Study: Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs enhances border control and fingerprint enrolment with secunet biomiddle

Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes over 150,000 visa applications a year with Secunet Security Networks

The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its border control authority required a robust solution to enhance their border control and biometric data processing for visa applications across hundreds of workstations. Secunet Security Networks addressed this challenge with its secunet biomiddle product, a biometric middleware designed to manage document checks and biometric data.

Secunet implemented its biomiddleware to coordinate optical and electronic document checks and process biometric data at border control checkpoints, police stations, and embassies. The solution provided flexible integration of processes and hardware via standard interfaces. For the customer, this resulted in enhanced stationary and mobile border control, with the system processing an average of over 150,000 visa applications annually at embassies alone.
