VI. Illustrative Example of Significant Achievement

Illustrative Example

Expanded Use of Biometric and Facial Recognition Technology

The Department has expanded the use of facial recognition (FR) technology to detect fraudulent visa applications. The Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) used FR to disqualify 20,000 potential winners in the annual Diversity Visa lottery based on unallowable duplicate entries. In April, KCC launched a FR pilot for nonimmigrant visas, with thirteen posts participating, representing a cross-section of geographic bureaus. In addition to identifying possible fraud, the results will assist in developing a policy on FR, the globally interoperable biometric selected by the International Civil Aviation Organization for machine-assisted identity confirmation using Machine Readable Travel Documents.
