e-gate
Passport scanner portal
An e-gate is an automated border control gate at airports and other ports of entry that uses biometric technology—typically facial recognition or fingerprint scanning—to verify travelers' identities against their passports.
E-gates speed processing by reducing reliance on human immigration officers: The e-gates were down, so everyone had to queue for manual passport control.
