Frequently asked questions
Which biometrics can the desktops capture?
Fingerprint (single-finger to 4-4-2), iris with dual-eye goggles and AI-assisted facial capture for ICAO-compliant photos, all in one workflow.
Can biometric data be stolen or misused?
Data is encrypted on the desktop and when it syncs, and only goes to the systems your programme authorises. We comply with strict data-protection regulations.
Can biometric identification be used for large-scale verification?
Yes. Laxton desktops are used in national ID, border control, banking onboarding and census programmes, online or offline.
How do the devices integrate with our existing systems?
Native Windows and Android SDKs with a unified API let your team build custom apps, or our experts integrate the devices into your platform for you.
Is biometric identification reliable and secure?
Yes. Liveness detection helps stop fake fingerprints and photos, and all biometric data is encrypted.
Can citizens use the desktops without an operator?
Yes, with Laxton MC. Its built-in PC, screen and motorised camera support self-service enrolment, or an operator can guide the citizen.
Do the devices work offline?
Yes. Capture, matching and storage work fully offline, and records sync securely once a connection is available.
