Biometric Enrolment Kiosks for Latvia’s PMLP
Latvia's Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (PMLP) needed a modern, standardised way to capture citizen biometric and identity data. It turned to Laxton for a custom-designed desktop enrolment kiosk. Built to the customer's specification and fully integrated with its software environment, the kiosk brings face, fingerprint, and signature capture together at a single station. Laxton engineered, produced, and delivered it within a demanding 90-day window.

Project
Country: Latvia
Solution: National ID
Population: 1.8 Million
Modernising Citizen Enrolment
The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (PMLP), an authority under Latvia's Ministry of the Interior, is responsible for the country's core identity infrastructure. It issues passports and eID cards through service points across Latvia, where biometric data such as a facial image and fingerprints is captured.
PMLP required a modern, standardised solution for capturing citizen biometric and identity data at these service points. The customer specified a custom-designed desktop enrolment kiosk capable of high-quality biometric capture, fully integrated with its existing software environment.
Custom Desktop Kiosk
A desktop enrolment station designed to PMLP’s specifications rather than an off-the-shelf product.
Full Software Integration
Complete integration with the customer’s existing software environment at each service point.
Standardised Capture
Consistent, high-quality biometric and identity data captured uniformly across every service point.

A Kiosk Built for Capture Quality and Ease of Use
Each component of the kiosk addresses a specific enrolment requirement:
Auto-Adjusting Camera
The motorised camera positions itself to each applicant, ensuring correctly framed facial images and removing the need for manual repositioning by the operator.
Intelligent Lighting System
An adjustable smart backlight panel controls brightness and colour to produce consistent, high-quality photographs that meet international travel document standards, independent of ambient lighting at the service point.
Two Fingerprint Scanners
2 single-finger scanners allow efficient, reliable fingerprint capture as part of the standard enrolment workflow.
Signature Pad
The integrated signature pad captures the applicant's handwritten signature digitally, completing the biometric and identity record without paper forms.
User Information Screen
Applicants receive clear on-screen guidance throughout the process, reducing errors and shortening enrolment time.
These capabilities allow a complete identity registration covering face, fingerprints, and signature to be performed at one compact desktop station. The device controls capture quality rather than leaving it dependent on the operator or environment.
