Identity Solutions Across the Federal Mission
From secured installations to border crossings, NEC delivers biometric tools that help federal agencies verify identity faster, enroll personnel accurately, and support investigators with technology built for the demands of classified and sensitive operations.
Verified Federal Deployments
NEC technology is the backbone of the nation’s biometric border infrastructure. At CBP, NEC’s cloud-based identification solutions handle all back-end biometric matching for entry/exit passenger processing at land, sea, and airports across the U.S. — powering the systems that screen millions of travelers each year.
At the U.S. Army, NEC face recognition enables vehicle checkpoint access at secure military installations — allowing authorized personnel to clear gates through windshield recognition without leaving their vehicle, while maintaining manned checkpoint security for unregistered entrants.

Frequently Asked Questions
NEC Express Vehicle Access (NEVA) uses high-resolution cameras and advanced face recognition to capture and identify vehicle occupants through the windshield as they approach a checkpoint — without requiring them to stop or present a credential. NEVA can capture all occupants across front, second, and third rows simultaneously, and supports cars, trucks, and SUVs. It integrates directly with NEC’s Biometric Matching Software or third-party access control systems.
NEC’s Physical Security Modernization suite covers pedestrian checkpoints, kiosks, turnstile gates, and gateless walk-through access — all identity-verified without physical ID cards or fingerprints. NEC’s Gateless Access Control System identifies multiple individuals simultaneously from a single camera, supporting high-throughput entry at federal buildings and military installations without creating choke points.
NEC SmartScan™ is a multimodal capture system that records face, fingerprint, iris, and signature images — plus 1D and 2D barcode reading — in a single enrollment session. Its service-oriented architecture supports background check processing, criminal arrest bookings, and offender registration workflows. SmartScan™ is modular, allowing agencies to add biometric modalities as mission requirements evolve.
Yes. NEC Digital ID lets individuals enroll using a mobile device — a selfie and a scan of their passport, driver’s license, or badge — transforming their face into a secure, portable digital credential. Once enrolled, the Digital ID supports check-in, facility access, and identity verification without presenting a physical card. The user retains full control over when and where their Digital ID is shared.
