TSSI, a supplier of biometrics and ID document verification solutions, has launched its latest software offering, Validate, a pre-employment ID checker.

Validate aims to provide a cost-effective solution for police and governmental offices, HR departments, recruitment agencies and other organisations recruiting foreign nationals wishing to verify ID documentation and ensure workers are eligible to work in the UK.

The software works by checking the machine readable zone (MRZ), expiry date and RFID (radio frequency identification) chip on a passport. It will also check the document security features under a variety of light sources before storing the scanned ID document onto a database.

It will be demonstrated at this year’s ACPO-APA International Policing Exhibition in Manchester in July.
