The Department uses facial image matching software to strengthen the SAFE registration process by detecting and deterring duplicate SAFE registration attempts. For control purposes, and to assist in identity fraud detection, a facial match against the photograph captured will be carried out separately by the Department’s facial image matching solution comparing it to all images already stored on the Department’s database.
