Aims/Objectives/Audience
The brochure has been built for Imposter detection for border guards with some reference material and
terminology. Checking a person’s identity starts with a comparison of the person and the document that he or
she presents. The increasing quality of security features in identity documents is making it more and more
difficult to forge such a document. To obtain another identity, it is more common to use another person’s
authentic document whose photo matches with the perpetrator’s face. To combat such lookalike fraud and to
decide whether the person who presents the document is actually the person the document shows, a universal,
systematic approach is necessary.
