I have worked as a security guard checking photo IDs at the gate of a utility company. The problem is that the ID photo, or a passport photo, was not taken today. It is usually several years old. People gain or lose weight. People dye or stop dyeing their hair. Men shave their heads or stop shaving. Men grow beards or shave beards. Men go bald. If the photo looked pretty much OK, I would let them in. The only other choice would be lock out half the workers.

Who else wants to see if they can find their doppelgänger in that system

It looks like they make passports at Dunder-Mifflin.

US officers are taught to look for features for example: relative location of ears, eyes and nose. The problem is how much time is allowed.

Even I could tell the 2 ladys faces are so different, particularly the nose.

It's the eye drops for me. 😂 😂

I'm not an expert, but how about thode who had surgery especially in Asain countries? Would their identities be seen as fake?

I was bald in my passport photo but grew my hair. That always confuse immigration officers.

Both totally different when standing together but easily be mistaken

It happened to me. I was travelling with another person from Tel Aviv (!) After a check, we swap passports by mistake. I did pass controls with his passport, and he passed controls with my passport. We was not aware about the mistake so our body language was ok and passports was genuine, however, not our passports. We are both same kind of face, but very different weight and height. Funny

She had to look different in the passport photo. She was supposed to get enhanced, like she could have used fillers to make her nose look more the same. She had to look different from her real photos and get enhanced to look like the other lady. At the airport she had to look enhanced with fillers and makeup. The trick lacks determination. She didn't try to look different.

People need to keep in mind that identity theft is not a joke. Millions of people suffer from it every year

Why is Australia putting so much effort into this lol?

Is the government noting down who.has watched this ...I'm waiting for the door bell to ring.lol

The distance between the face and the camera lens is hugely important. And it wasn't even mentioned. So many photos today are selfies, which seemingly distort features because they are taken so close to the face.

That lady at the beginning doesn’t look anything like the other lady....and use finger prints

Here in California you need what is known as a "Real ID" star on your Driver's License which requires proof of citizenship. I had a "Passport Card" used to go to Canada or Mexico. The DMV's scanner rejected it as not a valid document. Had to go home and get my regular passport which passed the scanner. Interestingly enough the passport card and the passport were obtained at the same time from the US Passport Office. They both had the exact same photo and info on them. Glad I wasn't down in TJ trying to get back using the card.

Aus is likely following US closely with the AI immigration procedures. Customs takes your photo and the AI matches it itself. Facial recognition is also being used on outbound US flights in the boarding areas.

No one needs ur passport anymore haha

Conclusion- Dr. White wasn't born in Australia

I'm glad my looks barely change. A few years ago I had my kindergarten teacher come through my check out and knew exactly who I was and I was in my 30s

Well in the US and Canada you're also fingerprinted. So, no faking!

Wow this is great I hope the world does this as well

Why they going through pictures when they can catch with fingerprint.

I had a problem my face did not look the same to romanian border officials on my passport which is only 2 yrs opd

The two women in the beginning are not doppelgangers, the differences are very apparent lol

10:54, I love that word "Swifty" she used, now I wish I could talk Australian

Seems like a low "error rate." They identified the vast majority correctly.

Why are comments disabled on most Australian news channels?

Oh yeah, play along, but you must be super quick because we won't wait..

what if someone pays so good to change the database then screw

For me a better way of identification is embedding the finger prints or eyes prints to the passport that simple

What happens if the person in the passport picture is wearing sunglasses?

Why don't we use fingerprint screening at all airports? All data can be collected UN cloud system. Retina and voice can be used as well.

I wondered about the race question all the way through until it was answered near the end.

Are there no fingerprints stored on Australian passports ?

I heard the first few sentences and I thought super matches mean people who look alike to a lot of people🤣

What if someone gets plastic surgery though?

In Dubai finger mark and eye's scanned by mashine, I don't know why the hill in UK they haven't done all this strictly check.

I must say. In south africa when u apply for a passport. U take a digital foto at the passport office

Could the face recognition be fooled by holding a photo over your face haha

Finger print readers linked to passport is the way to go

It's ironic that the people building these sophisticated systems are so concerned with foreigners entering when they themselves are the descendants of foreigners. It's foreign-ception.

Women can look so different with makeup. I new a woman years ago who i always saw out, night life. One day this woman was shouting my name in town in the day, kept hearing someone shout looked around could see no one, so thought she was shouting someone else. Then she grabbed me and then i recognised her voice. She had no makeup. Mind you she was better looking without the mask!

This video is obsolete. The US customs at Detroit Metro Airport was using a system where the person lined up on a specific spot and a computer took your picture. The computer measured your facial features against the computer picture they had for your US passport.

Eye scan and finger prints and signature in AE... You can't run any where...

It's so simple for anyone to understand if you doing experiment like like to show the weakness or strenth of your country %100has to be positive otherwise it's very weak government

Why dont they take finger prints? Like here in taiwan

All fine unless you have a good friend in the Passport Office 😏

What's the point in wasting time sending the photos to Canberra to see the difference when you can quickly check the fingerprints at the airport and see they don't match.

My passport looks so different to how I actually look because it was taken when I was younger

So what if the person had a nose job done? This is regards to matching the nose 😂😂😂

Worst time to be watching this is before bed. I know where my passport is. I dont need it for a very long time but I just need to check 😂

What about Identical twins etc.

Ahh, good ol' days before AI.

Face eye ears voice fingerprint blood type visible marks spine.

Interesting video. Highly specialised techs are obviously needed. 😊

Atleast this face recognition is really helpful to us so that no one will missuse our 👧picture

only face?how about fake name but the same face,whats the case of that

Imagine the nightmare with the Kardashians at the airport... No hate intended. True, when I got surgery for my broken nose it came out slightly different and was back to France 2 years after with a heavy American accent: an officer blocked me and I when straight "into the room" for a +20 minutes interrogation. Aha. Maybe he thought I was an American involved in smuggling myself into France 😁

Put the shackles on

Why would you give your secrets away???? If I was a criminal watching this, I’d find a way to bypass Australian authorities

2022 new passports are different now,...biometrics, finger print & iris scan.

Passport officer i great you thanks for good job.

My friend had travelled from Kuwait to India on his younger brothers passport with completely different face by mistake and he succeeded to clear all security checks at Kuwait Airport and get caught at Ahmedabad Airport immigration.

600,000 people per week come into Australian like 6 now

Why don't they just use biometric and retina verification?

1) I, Future Forever Are Don't Need Passport To Travel, I, Future Forever Are Already Have Finger Prints In The System Already

But when doing it the old fashioned way, you don't get multiple choice

For a moment I thought they were twin

See I hate the smart gates cos Gatwick tries to funnel me through them but the computer doesn’t like my face since jet lagged me has a even more jet lagged right eye but to be checked manually you need a member of staff to notice that it’s not likening you

If a person desperate to do that then if he have right reason to do what he did then u should welcome him in to ur community n ur country

Just put retina fingerprint in a global database, no physical passport needed.

I always use my cousin's passport if my brother's passport is hired by someone else n suprising it works

What if someone has got cosmetic surgery?

Why am l watching this?? Thanks God I don't need to get a fake passport 🙏

So what if they where actually the same person and they had a nose and chin job + a face lift could you be fulled.

How about facial cosmetic surgery? They look 100% different before and after.

Thank you. Social Security Commissioner. Forensic...Thank you.

Mehn these people are good!!

How do they cope with babies and kids who obviously change a lot as they get older. My young sons face is a lot slimmer now than it was in his toddler passport pic

Au passports are so expensive. Four children’s passports recently cost us over £500 😱

Super matchers: "Their whole purpose in life is to catch you out." This maybe their job description, but I doubt this job is "their whole purpose in life." 16:32.

How come all the comments are recent? This video was posted 5 years ago and the oldest comment is a week old lol. Btw I got here from a passport video (everything you need to know about your passport) and I think it was posted a few years ago.

Every passport should record fingerprints and they should be scanned at the border, together with facial features. This would make it basically impossible for dopplegangers to go undetected. I dont know why we still dont do it...

Not to mention the jawlines of both the reporter and the actress is different.

Good job

What if someone had a surgery???

Do u knw nething abt hackers with experience

The person could of had plastic surgery and so they might not be lying about it being fake

Ive always wanted to get on the wrong flight on purpose 😂 getting hard now with the biometric reader I’ve seen for international flights at a couple airports but ik it happens. Get a real nice cheap Spirit air ticket to Flint MI and board a flight to Aruba

I am not trained and I could easily tell the twins apart

what if a person after cosmetic surgery?

I had some problems last time coz when. I renewed my passport 5 years ago I had no beard at all then suddenly I was bushy as heck 😂😂

All passports have fingerprint data, so how is this still a problem today?

From my experience If you are white and use a close picture it is probably okay. If you are brown however, you eill be checked teice even with your correct Visa will be

Please I need california DL

Going on 15 years they still didn't catch me.

i dream to have an Australian passport. its avery powerful passport and well respected.

Catching fake ids can be learned. The same with passports. I make sure to wear the exact same shirt as my passport photo when I go to the airport. I have unique shaped upper body and I make sure my photo shows that.
