The above with the implementation of the simplified arrival in the international bridges within the port of entry of Hidalgo, Pharr, Anzaldúas and Reynosa, Tamaulipas.
As disclosed by United States customs authorities, simplified arrival is an enhanced international arrival process that uses facial biometrics to automate manual document verifications that are already required for admission to the United States.
“It provides travelers with a safe and contactless travel experience, while fulfilling a long-standing Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-US citizens,” the document cites.
The Hidalgo y Reynosa, Mexico Port of Entry is one of the 10 busiest ports of entry in the United States, processing more than 1.6 million pedestrians and nearly 2.9 million vehicles in fiscal 2020.
Simplified Arrival only uses the biometric face matching process at a time and place where travelers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document.
When travelers reach the pedestrian lanes or undergo I-94 processing at any bridge in Hidalgo, they will stop to take a photo at the main inspection point.
If a traveler cannot match a photo registered through the simplified arrival process, the traveler will go through the traditional inspection process in accordance with existing requirements to enter the United States.
