Physical characteristics

Height and weight indicators in the booth.

Access permit required from workers, immigrants, tourists and transients since day 27

Entrants' physical characteristics, including height, weight, and a description of physical appearance are listed on several documents, such as ID supplement, and may be compared with the entrant to ensure their identity.

The booth's weight display and the lines behind the entrant are used in the inspection mode to verify entrant's weight and height. Because you cannot select the height lines in the inspection mode, you must select the entrant's head and the document that has the apparently different height to verify a height discrepancy.

A discrepancy in all of these fields except weight or sex leads to fingerprint testing. A weight discrepancy or apparent sex discrepancy leads to a search.

Documents listing physical characteristics

• ID supplement
• Access Permit
• Identity card – height and weight only
• Grant of Asylum – height and weight only
