More than 3.5 million taxpayers have been enrolled in the system with a goal of five million to be enrolled by 2014, informs LETA/ELTA.

Vangent Mexico business unit and Biometria Aplicada developed the MBES solution to enroll taxpayers and ensure there are no duplicates in the national database. The solution has been designed for ease-of-use and alignment to national and international standards, including ISO, ANSI/NIST-ITL, MINEX, FBI, ICAO and RENAPO.

The biometric and demografic data is captured at 100 enrollment stations using industry-standard biometric scanners for fingerprint and iris capture and digital cameras for facial photography. The MegaMatcher-based client software is installed in each of the enrollment stations to process and validate the captured fingerprint, facial and iris biometric data. Each person's biometric data is also checked for duplicates on the server-side using six MegaMatcher Accelerator units which run 24 hours a day and are able to process thousands of requests per hour at peak times.

Drawing from years of academic research in the fields of neuroinformatics, image processing and pattern recognition, Neurotechnologija was founded in 1990 in Vilnius, Lithuania under the name Neurotechnologija and released its first fingerprint identification system in 1991.
