Biometric-enabled Check-in:

Step One:
Candidate arrives, signs roster and presents one or two forms of government-issued photo ID (as dictated by test sponsor)

Step Two:
Once electronic check-in begins the Candidates' ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) information is captured and validated through barcode/magnetic strip scanning or optical character recognition (image scan).

Step Three:
Candidates' photo is extracted from ID.

Step Four:
A digital fingertip pattern template is captured from the candidate and is validated real-time against a secured database of previous Prometric test takers.

Step Five:
Candidate biometric data is encrypted and secured throughout all points of transmission.

Step Six:
Candidate movement throughout the test center is tracked by the fingertip pattern provided. Candidates will use their fingertip pattern before leaving the room for breaks and when returning from breaks, as well as during check-out to validate they are who they say they are.
