Regula Rethinks Border Control

The almost unlimited access to high-quality printing services, as well as to sophisticated graphics software, has increased the quality of document forgery in recent years to the point where it is becoming more difficult for border control officers to tell the difference between real and fake secure documents.

And as manufacturers of security devices increase the number and complexity of optical features on secure documents, so the need for specialised equipment and knowledge rises. This, in turn, leads to the constant need to expand the number of forensic experts and to cover the costs for additional training of border control staff.

To help contain this technology escalation, Regula has devised a concept that rethinks the conventional process of in-depth border control, which looks to improve the deployment of forensic experts.
