Biometrics, identity verification, payment.
Photo Collect is the leading solution for capturing and processing ID photos. The core functionality can be extended modularly — depending on the procedure and security requirements.
Five modules. Each can be added individually.
Photo Collect captures, checks, and processes the photo. These modules extend the workflow where a procedure requires more than an image.
Protection against spoofing
The presence of a physical person and the match with the submitted image are confirmed.
- Live video recording instead of file upload
- Matching against the submitted photo
- Spoofing and morphing are detected
Document and identity verification
Identity documents are verified and the photos are matched against each other.
- Verification of ID card or passport
- Matching the document photo with the captured image
- Reading data optically or via NFC
Biometric verification
The system checks photos according to ICAO or country-specific standards. Analysis of facial features ensures that a photo is suitable for official identification.
- Checks against ICAO and country-specific requirements
- Analysis of facial features and geometry
- Suitability for official identification
Signature capture
Where a document also requires a signature, it is captured in the same workflow.
- Signature with finger or stylus
- Automatic line weight and background removal
- Handover together with the photo
Integrated payment
With an integrated payment system and common payment methods, entire ordering processes for official documents or visas can be mapped.
- Common payment methods integrated
- Fees paid in the same workflow
- Direct credit to the authority's account
In use in official procedures.
Where an application requires identity, a signature, or a fee, the modules run in the same workflow as photo capture.
Driver's licenses
Photo capture, checking, and processing — integrated into the process for first-time and exchange applications.
Use caseCitizen portals
Photo capture, validation, and automatic processing integrated directly in the portal, in one fully digital process.
Use caseVisas and permits
Photo capture and automatic pre-check according to ICAO and country-specific requirements, integrated into the application process.
Use caseSwiss made, Swiss hosted.
The software is developed in Switzerland and runs in an ISO 27001-certified data center in Switzerland. On-premise hosting available. Sovereign infrastructure and AI models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the modules be added individually?
Yes. Each module can be added individually — depending on the procedure and security requirements. Photo capture with automatic checking remains the core.
Do the photos meet ICAO standards?
Yes, the photos captured with Photo Collect meet the requirements of ICAO standards, provided that manual quality control is applied. The ICAO standards define international requirements for passport photos, especially for biometric IDs such as passports.
What happens if someone cannot meet the requirements?
Individual checks — such as head pose or open eyes — can be overridden after a defined number of attempts. The image is then passed on with a note for manual approval.
Where is the data processed?
Exclusively in Switzerland, in an ISO 27001-certified data center. All image processing, including all AI models, is carried out by Visible Solutions AG itself; on-premise operation is also possible on request.
