Avalon is delivering the live enrolment system for all types of travel & id documents, whether expats living abroad applying for a passport or ID-Card or just want to update their registered information & biometrics details, as well as for foreigners that are applying with their biometric details for a visa.

This tender was published and managed by the UNOPS (United Nations Office for Project Services) and the solution offered includes 160 workstations that are running worldwide “BioCap” & “Visa- lon”, customized for the Republic of Argentina. The system collects general and biographical data and biometric information such as photo, fingerprints and signature as well as the archiving of sup- porting documents that are linked to the specific application. The system will be integrated with the data exchange system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for secure online data exchange via encrypted communication channels.

Following the award and invitation in July 2011 in Argentina and proofing all offered functionality successfully, the system will be delivered for functional and integration testing at the beginning of September 2011. All embassies and consulates worldwide will be fully operational at the beginning of the 4th quarter of this year.
