Revenue Service tests palm biometric on Friendship Bridge

The goal of the pilot project is to assess the feasibility and efficiency of the new tool in managing the intense flow of passengers who cross daily between Brazil and Paraguay. During the event, representatives of the Federal Revenue Service will demonstrate the technology’s operation and conduct practical tests.

According to the Federal Revenue Service, this is an experimental phase and there is no plan for the biometric system to immediately replace the current control mechanisms. The data collected will be used to determine the next steps of the initiative. If the technology proves effective, there is potential for expansion to other border points, such as the Integration and Tancredo Neves bridges.
