Show HN: QR Code Based Traveler Identity for Seamless Immigration

1 points by ajaviaad 5 years ago | 2 comments

TownChat is going to create seamless travel experience for tourists by generating Traveler Identity QR Codes for documentless identification, facilitating navigation through airports using Indoor Positioning through connectors and providing in-flight entertainment.

Our Patent Pending QR Code based Digital Identity will replace passports for entry and exit at borders and can also be used for Check-in and Check-out at airport lounges and hotels. It can be integrated with AML Database for KYC verification if needed.

QR Code based Passport ID will also allow users to scan Visa QR Code if Embassies provide one or scan Machine Readable Visa for automatically updating the visa details. On every QR scan our API will automatically check for any active PNR of user and will update QR Code with PNR so that users could scan the QR Code for getting boarding pass and later on for seamless immigration.

Through QR ID Landside to Airside and Airside to Landside process will take 2-3 Minutes.

It will contain all passport information and will fetch and update information from national identity card. Upon scan visa and PNR information will also be updated. We are using AI alogside OCR to identify fake passports on the basis of matching patterns.
