3 At Prometric, our ID Management Solutions span from ease of use and convenient check-in to full identity management and background verification all developed to protect your exam from proxy testing while providing flexibility around data privacy requirements. Our line-up includes the following: Digital photos of test takers that are captured on the day of the test and securely stored with each test taker s exam appointment record. By having one consolidated appointment record, you can more efficiently conduct simple validation and security investigations as needed during the testing event as well as for your post-exam validation processes. A basic biometric-enabled check-in process that is one of the fastest and easiest biometrics options for your test takers. All that your enrolling test takers have to do is: (1) provide valid photo IDs for visual, manual checks; and (2) quickly scan their fingertips for enrollment using state-of-the art electronic fingerprint readers. Fingertip patterns are then securely encrypted for transmission and storage and are compared against a robust database of millions of fingerprints from other Prometric test takers who have taken previous examinations to ensure they are who they say they are. For added ID verification and protection, every time your test takers take future exams that require fingertip capture, their records are compared again with our database of stored fingertip patterns from previously enrolled test takers. A sophisticated, electronic scan of a test taker s personal identification data (such as a passport or other authorized ID) to verify its validity and expiration date coupled with a biometric fingertip scan and digital photo. As with our other ID Management Solutions options, all captured data become a part of the test taker s exam appointment record. And in addition to fingertip patterns being matched against millions of other fingerprints in our database, the personal identification data are matched as well. This ability to match multiple data points provides you with an unparalleled ID management program to verify and validate your test takers identities each and every time they return for future biometric-enabled exams at Prometric test centers. Additional Services High resolution fingerprints that can be transmitted directly to the FBI or other authorized organizations for any number of background checks required by your testing program or state jurisdiction.
