INTRODUCTION

The Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) is the lead entity within the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for biometric identity management, providing information technology to store, match, and analyze biometric data, which is linked to biographic data to provide person-centric, actionable information in support the DHS Strategic Mission. This biometric information is used for immigration admissibility and eligibility determinations supporting DHS business processes, such as credentialing and law enforcement actions, as well as for other external government stakeholders.

IDENT enables the enrollment and subsequent verification of an individual’s identity at any point within any immigration and border management process and can provide this information to external government business owners that have a requirement to ensure unique identification and subsequent verification. OBIM accomplishes this by integrating biometric and associated biographic information collected by multiple agencies. OBIM provides this consolidated information to, and performs analysis services for, decision makers at federal, state, local, and international law enforcement levels, as well as for immigration partners. This information is used to identify individuals who are not admissible to the United States, who have violated immigration laws by overstaying the periods of their admission or by claiming false identity, or who pose a national security threat to the United States and/or international partners.
