Idemia Wanted By Interpol For BioHIB Multibiometric Identification System.
IDEMIA Wanted By INTERPOL – INTERPOL has renewed its strategic partnership with IDEMIA through the launch of enhanced BioHUB multibiometric identification system across 196 member countries.
Powered by IDEMIA’s latest Multibiometric Identification System (MBIS), BioHUB will integrate new generation algorithms which provide a higher matching accuracy rate with a shorter response time and a more user-friendly interface.
The first phase of its deployment to enhance the identification of potential Person of Interest (POIs) for police investigations has been rolled out in October 2023, while the second phase will be rolled out over the next 2 years.
The second phase of deployment will extend BioHUB to border control points, allowing borders to perform up to 1 million forensic searches per day, including fingerprints, palm prints and portraits. Once fully deployed, BioHUB will be the top performing automated biometric identification system on the market.
IDEMIA and INTERPOL first began their collaboration in 1999, when IDEMIA delivered the original Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). In 2016, INTERPOL opted for IDEMIA’s advanced facial recognition capabilities to create the INTERPOL Face Recognition System (IFRS), reinforcing the long-standing partnership between the two. This also reinforces the long-standing partnership between IDEMIA and INTERPOL.

The IFRS contains face images from more than 170 countries, and since its launch, thousands of terrorists, criminals, fugitives, POIs, and missing persons have been identified. In 2019, INTERPOL renewed its contract with IDEMIA to upgrade the current system and transform it into a Multibiometric Identification System (MBIS). Through AFIS, authorized users in member countries can view, submit, and cross-check these records using INTERPOL’s secure global police communications network.
“IDEMIA is proud to be collaborating with INTERPOL again,” said Matt Cole, Group Executive Vice President, Public Security and Identity at IDEMIA.
“With the delivery of the new MBIS INTERPOL will have access to cutting-edge fingerprint, palm print and face identification technologies, enabling it and member countries to identify persons of interest faster than ever before.”
