Sine, Honeywell’s visitor and contractor platform, has introduced Advanced ID Check for SinePoint Pro iPad kiosks, embedding identity verification directly into the enterprise check-in process. Rather than relying on manual document checks or separate verification workflows, Advanced ID Check helps validate identity and creates compliance records in seconds – so visitors move through faster, and organisations have the audit trail they need before anyone sets foot on site.

“Organisations with serious compliance obligations can’t afford gaps between who they think is on site and who actually is. Advanced ID Check helps close that gap automatically, at the moment it matters – giving teams the audit trail they need without slowing anyone down,” said Chuck O’Leary, General Manager, Sine by Honeywell.

Identity verified at the moment of entry

When a visitor begins check-in on the SinePoint Pro iPad kiosk, they scan a government-issued ID – passport, driver’s licence, or national ID card. Within seconds, Sine checks document authenticity indicators, checks expiry status, and matches the document photo to the visitor’s captured image. Verification results are automatically attached to each visitor pass and activity feed, so identity verification is fully documented before the visitor sets foot on site.

For visitors, it’s a faster, more streamlined arrival. For the organisation, it’s consistent, standardised verification and audit trail across every site – no longer dependent on a staff member catching an expired document or spotting an inconsistency under pressure or time constraints.

A complete audit trail, built into every check-in

Every ID check creates a timestamped compliance record from the moment the visitor checks in. When an audit or incident review demands evidence of who was on site and how they were cleared, that record is already there – designed to be consistent, and requiring minimal effort to produce.

Configurable site behaviour allows enterprises to set verification requirements by visitor type, applying stricter controls to contractors or high-risk categories. Advanced ID Check flags discrepancies or hold check-ins for manual approval based on the site’s risk profile, giving security and admin teams control without adding friction for standard visits. The data model stores only essential fields, with no document images, document numbers, or date of birth retained.

“This removes a significant operational burden – reducing manual document checks, reducing the risk of human error, and having the ability to apply controls to specific visitor types adds an important layer of verification for sites and the people on them,” added Chuck.

Built for environments where identity matters

Advanced ID Check is suited to enterprise environments where identity verification is a compliance requirement or safety imperative – including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, construction, critical infrastructure, and facilities with regulated access requirements.

Under the hood, Advanced ID Check includes document authentication, which validates security features, text consistency, and image quality to assess whether an ID appears genuine before check-in is approved. Face match compares the document photo to the visitor’s captured image, helping confirm the person at the door matches their presented ID. Expiry validation automatically flags expired documents before check-in proceeds, without requiring a staff member to spot it.

The technology is powered by Regula Forensics, an identity verification platform used by organisations across 250 countries and territories, including border control authorities in certain countries.
