VIEWS is ideal for use by maritime workers, truckers, and others applying for TWIC cards; federal agency employees who must obtain new biometric-based identification cards per HSPD-12 regulations, and for private citizens who choose to enroll in the Registered Traveler program to speed their way through airport security checks.

VIEWS offers a simple and direct vehicle for quickly entering personal data, biometric imprints, and other information required for their application. For example, data can be taken directly off of the enrollee's passport, driver's license or I-9 card, minimizing the number of fields that need to be populated. This approach assures a level of accuracy and privacy not possible with other application methods. Face and fingerprint images are then scanned though an easy to use, step-by-step process that validates that the correct images have been captured and stored properly. In addition, these kiosks provide a means to cut the wait-time for federally-issued credentials as the files are validated and forwarded to the correct agencies at the time of enrollment.

VIEWS units are flexible, available as permanent stations or as a highly mobile "jump kit" that can be easily transported and set up in minutes, ideally suited for temporary enrollment needs. The kiosks can be branded in accordance with any federal agency requirement or organizational preference. The Graphical User Interface graphical user interface (GUI)
