Christmas Time, Vacation Time: It’s Already a Bit Digital at the Border

Christmas is near. Many travellers will once again need their passport when crossing borders. However, digitisation is now reducing the steps required to check passports when travelling. Veridos demonstrates how modern technologies can ensure greater convenience and shorter queues.

Christmas is in full swing and everyone is organising their trips. Much of this can already be done digitally. It only takes a few clicks to book hotels, check flights and pay online. When you arrive at your destination, you can reserve a rental car and check into your hotel using an app.

An essential part of travel is still characterised by physical documents and manual processes: namely proof of identity. Travellers must still take their ID card or passport on their trip and have it checked when crossing borders.
