Digital Identity Photos Facilitating Citizen Services in Waldkirch
In an effort to modernise and simplify identification procedures, the town of Waldkirch has introduced the PointID system. This innovative device captures photos and signatures digitally, handling the entire application process for identification documents such as identity cards, passports, and foreigner documents.
The PointID system is suitable for children aged six and above, making it accessible for a wide range of residents. The touchpad guides users through the process step by step, while its design automatically adjusts to the user's height for a comfortable experience.
One of the key benefits of the PointID system is the elimination of the previous printing and rescanning process. This means that citizens in Waldkirch can now have passport photos taken at the citizen service centre, streamlining the process and reducing the need for in-person visits.
The system is currently available in the main town and in Kollnau, with Buchholz set to follow. It supports ten languages, ensuring that it is accessible to a diverse range of residents. The cost for each capture is six euros, nationwide.
While specific details about the PointID system's role in Waldkirch and its impact on the passport photo and identity document process are not yet available, it is clear that the system is designed to simplify and speed up identification procedures by enabling residents to verify their identity digitally or through a centralized system. This can help reduce the need for physical documents and in-person visits, making the process more efficient and convenient for all.
