Finnish authorities are piloting a digital passport in a partnership between Finnish Border Control, Finnair, the airport company Finavia, and airports in Edinburgh, London, and Manchester. Participants are able to use a mobile-based ""Digital Travel Credential"" when moving through border control. Finnish citizens who participate in the trial are required to go in person to the Vantaa Main Police Station, where they must submit their physical passport and undergo a face scan. When travelling, the user’s information must be submitted through the app to the Finnish Border Guard between 36 and four hours prior to departure. Upon arrival at a participating UK airport, a traveller can proceed to a dedicated screening lane, where they will undergo a face scan. Biometric technology is used to match the user’s face to the DTC information on file. The Finnish Border Guard explained that the DTC allows smooth and fast border crossings. The pilot is scheduled to run until February 2024.
