NEC Corporation has been awarded a contract for the installation of joint kiosk terminals, “Shared Kiosks,” and the design of related systems by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan and Customs.
The kiosks will be introduced at the immigration inspection areas of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 at Haneda Airport, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Kansai International Airport, and Terminal 3 at Narita International Airport.
The kiosks will allow foreigners to register the entrance records and customs declaration information created on the ‘Visit Japan Web’, an online service provided by the Digital Agency, by scanning QR codes and passports, take a photograph for facial recognition verification, and read fingerprint information (not required for Japanese citizens). This will streamline immigration procedures by integrating information with the Immigration Services Agency and Customs systems.
With the use of facial and fingerprint recognition technology, reliable personal identification is possible. The system automatically selects a camera according to the user’s height, enabling authentication regardless of height variations or wheelchair use. It also simplifies the process of photographing for immigration inspection by detecting decorations such as masks or sunglasses automatically and prompting only the relevant users to remove them. Furthermore, the kiosk automatically displays the interface in the user’s preferred language when scanning QR codes for foreigner entrance records and customs declaration information, eliminating the need for manual language selection.
